Default Re: 2000 Banana plants

I'm the only person that really does anything on the farm and it shows. The weeds tend to get out of hand and the sucker management is not nearly as good as it should be. Every once in a while I get the sprayer out and try to get some control over the weeds. I put out all the fertilizer by hand. I do enlist my wife for help when we are packing. I see the crap hitting the fan though when I have 500 bunches of plantains all at once because I don't have the means to harvest and pack that many bunches. When you have a lot of bunches though, you have options. I can call someone in Miami and have them come up and fill up several trucks and be done with it quickly.
