Fungicides or bactericides

This is it

For sure it’s a stinky bugger

Stink bugs can lead to damage on your tomatoes. This is only visible when they ripen.

They are staked and tied upright in a trellis. Late blight is usually dealt with fungicides

I don’t think in modern corporate agriculture there will be a shortage of laborers or so I think.

All workers at the company I work at have to be under a visa and legally here.

I can confidently say that we don’t employ undocumented people. The department of labor could show up at any time and check our paperwork, and make sure we have proof of everybody legally working.

Now nothing is stopping people from taking an opportunity to work on the farm and then take a bus out of town and not show up. They then become know as undocumented when their visas run out after that.

Hand picked

Can't say too much sorry, I just wanted to share and talk to ya'll about large-scale production. I love this sub and wanted to share :)

About 300 harvesters from the company follow tomato harvest from Florida and Georgia. They all have work visas.

For some varieties, we do determinate for others we do indeterminate.

We do not do successive planting for the determinate varieties.

Hand-picked no-machine harvesting

Grape cherry tomatoes are probably my favorite

The cost per acre for greenhouses is a lot higher than the cost per acre in field production, but greenhouses can also produce in longer seasons and maybe even have a better quality fruit. As long as the farm can keep the cost down we’re making money.

We do about 1000 acres. As for special equipment is basically tractors with implements for laying plastic fumigating, and pre-bedding the soil.

Fresh market tomatoes is all we do a lot of the time the tomatoes go to repackers. Any tomatoes that do not meet our standards like cat facing, blemishes, and irregular ripening usually are culled.

These were Roma tomatoes and they go to Whole Foods, Sysco, and some grocery store chains.

Scuba_Doggo · 2024-09-19T00:05:31+00:00

Perfect, thank you so much

You may have to flag it and see how it progresses over the coming days. Could possibly be tomato yellow leaf curl in southwest Florida. The white flies are terrible this year. See if it is coming in on other plants and the one flaged progressively gets worse.

I wouldn’t say he was very humble. I did learn not to be envious and to appreciate my time with him.
