I used to take the number ones to the Vineland produce auction. Now I just sell what I can and leave the rest in the field. I plant a lot more tomatoes than I can sell as insurance against a bad crop. We have many food processors who will take anything extra if I don't mind selling it for next to nothing...Bob.

Well it seems that this year is the best tomato year in Kansas.  I have so many picked and ready to sell, but not enough customers.  Even large quantities at a discount price!  I am afraid to know how much I have, (at least 400 pounds!) I know I need to pick probably another 200 pounds tomorrow.

What do you do when you have too many tomatoes when lowering price doesn't work?   I guess I will be canning salsa and tomatoes tomorrow or my chickens will be happy!

We are selling tomatoes at $2.00 a pound, just FYI.

Thanks,

Jay
