Manny Medina, J & W Valley View Farm; Westmoreland County, Va.; offering fruits and vegetables. "We use best practices in farming. We only spray fungicide, not pesticide and that is only for corn. We don't worry about the pests since we plant so much if you lose 500 plants, it won't hurt anything, but there are thousands and thousands of plants, 10,000 tomato plants. We use 8/8/16 as fertilizer. We never plant the same thing in the same spot the next year. If you plant the same thing, it will soak up the nutrients. We start in the heated greenhouse in January and then transfer the seedlings to the black-mulched fields. We put in 9,000 feet this year.”
