Speaker 1 (00:00):
It happens anytime.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
But first, another hour with Bob Lonsbury starts now on
News Radio Way.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
I'm all thanks, sir, I appreciate that. Good morning, my friend.
Thank you very much for tuning in. Peering out the
window here. Yeah, it's a flat out beautiful day for
a radio program. Is summer is upon us. The gardens,
the farms are producing, and it is a lush, wonderful,
blessed season that is upon us. See how things are
(00:28):
going on the farm. What we should have our eyes
and our minds open to. Are to be joined by
a longtime farmer and a veteran member of the Monroe
County Legislature, the armb of Robert Colby, Sir, good morning,
welcome to the broadcast.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Good morning, Bob.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
First question is what it always is. How long your
people been farming it here?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Sir, oh, two twenty four years?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Man, that's outstanding. Who were the first ones.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
The Kobe Yeah brothers that came up here in eighteen
o two, and they came from Salisbury, New Hampshire, and
they were came from England in the round seventeen hundred.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
It's astounding, what a great, great history and the.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Reason they're out here is because my ancestor served under
George Washington and went up to Lake Champlain, and he
saw that the farmland to the west was better than
the racky New Hampshire. So when his boys got old enough,
he sent him out west to find some good farmland.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
If you get into New Hampshire parts of Vermont, even
getting down like Westchester County, down in the Lower Hudson,
it is so rocky and so rough. I don't see
how those people lived down there.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
It was amazing. Matter of fact, the original farmhouse that
they lived in is still standing down there, the Kobe
Family Museum.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Wow, that's very cool. What a great great history.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Sir.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, here we are, first week of August. How are
the farms doing well?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Excuse me, this is the August is probably the best month.
If you want the sweetest, best sweet corn you're gonna
get anywhere, go to the farm. Any farm market in
August is our best sweet corn months. So if you
like sweet corn, you should be out eating sweet corn
every day.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Absolutely. How long does that windows stay open?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Well, it'll stay open, really tell It'll stay open till
we get a first frost. But most people by time
you get to the uh, first of October, it's not
as sweet. Maybe some people will tell you because the
sunlight is sure. Yeah, yeah, but you got you got,
(03:00):
you got August and at least till the first of October.
Of grade eating of sweet corn.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
And a lot of places, it's about six dollars a
dozen or so, do you think.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Well, yeah, I think so. It's about the running price.
I mean it's got up some. It might be a
little more in New York State. It's more because to
pick hand pick that sweet corn costs more money in
New York because our labor bill is higher. That's the
story for another day.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, picking sweet corn. How do people do That's that's
not done by machine?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yes, and no?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Okay, the.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Processed sweet corn is all done by machine. The farm
market sweet corn, half of it's done by machine and
half is done by hand.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
All I know is the Amish dad sends his kids
out and they come back with corn, and we pay
them for it, and everything's good.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Okay. Yeah, they don't have to buy his shoes either.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I have awful tough feet in those little kids. What
else is ripe? If that's the right word, now, please sir?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Well right now, you know, we've got peaches coming around
the corner, and the end of the of the sweet
sweet cherries are probably wrapping up. You've got your zucchini
and all those cucumbers. All those things are coming around
nicely right now. And in your markets. Oh, your coal
(04:32):
crops like broccoli, coliflower, in cabbage, they're all knocking on
the door. Some of those are ready now, but the
bulk of those at the end of the month. We
grow potatoes. You're talking about potato chips. We grow potatoes,
and we'll start taking potatoes probably another week or ten
days and have them available at our farms. And potato chips,
(04:57):
I remember hitting the same can potato chips that you
talked about.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Too bad.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
We don't have any potato chip chippers in New York
because all the processing chip potato people have left New
York state?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Is?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Why? Why is that?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Sir? It's too hard to do business in New York
because all all the crowd factories have left New York.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, I mean, and not that long ago again, there
used to be a Sauer Kraut festival in Phelps, right
was it silver Floss or something? Was the local brand?
I can't remember you're.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Correct, and they used to be the we used to
grow about half the crowd cabbage in the United States
used to be grown in that penyan Uh area between
there and Potatoa. Used to be half the crowd cabbage
in the in the United States was produced.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
With the departure of the Sauer Kraut processors, have we
lost that market for that cabbage or or no, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, for the b for the balcle you can't afford
a ship at the other States where a skimming process. Yeah,
because of bulky item. Well, I mean there's some there's
some small krout guys. You know, they are growing just
for fresh market fresh crowd well pop operations. But the
(06:29):
big two plants have left.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That's terrible. I remember years years ago, probably as a
function of this, you could drive on five and twenty
and there'd be two or three or four or five
places where they'd be selling just the biggest cabbage you
ever saw there on the side of the road for
a great price.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
No quarter quarter ahead.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah. Yeah, potatoes, I'm in a potato mood. They're almost ready,
you say, well.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
We they are ready. There are some now available. But
the bulk of them will be the middle of August.
But we got a few that we're digging now. But
the bulk of the crop is a September crop, Okay,
in September. So but you you, I'm sure most some
of the farm markets would have potatoes in their stores now.
(07:18):
I mean, if you go to the grocery store, chances
are you get the potatoes are from Maryland is where
they being or Canada. Excuse me, uh, we encourage Canada
potatoes in the United States. We do well, we don't
what our policies do.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, really, I mean it's they get they get a
favorable trade situation from us.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
They're they're favorable trade to bring them in and their
government uh supplement supplements. They're exports of potatoes into the United.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
States, as you know, better than in New York, especially
down in Stuben County. As such, we have and including
western Monroe County, we have a great heritage for potato
growing around here, right.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah, excuse me. The potatoes in the Beun County and
Caloriadas County, all those southern tier counties throw a lot
of potatoes still today, a lot of potatoes and they're
all going for chips to like Wys potato chips and
Ups potato chips, and I can't think of the other company.
(08:27):
Right over the border in the Pennsylvania they have chipping
plants and see potato chips. You can ship the potato,
but you can't ship the chips very far because they're
so light and bluffy. Stall The chip plants like to
be near high populations, so they built the plants in
(08:47):
the southern eastern Pennsylvania so they can service New York
to Boston down to Washington with chips. That's why the
chip plants are in that area.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Monroe County and over into Orleans and Genesee. They do.
They also grow potatoes for chips there too, sir.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Not typically no, okay. More in the southern potatoes are
don't like real hot weather. They like cool, cool weather.
And so that's why the southern tier and the elevation
difference just enough to make it a little cooler, so
they grow a little a little better in the southern tier.
(09:31):
That's why they grow so many in the potatoes up
in Maine, because potatoes like, they don't like real hot.
When it gets about eighty five, they don't grow. They
just sit there and look at you.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah, is Robert Colby of course talking about things going
on on the farm. What else anything else going on
or coming up soon?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Sir? Oh, not too much. I mean we're getting ready.
We were. The rains have been nfl. It's not a
little too much. But our pay crop for our cattle,
our cows, our milk cows is we're having some of
the best cropping for raising food for our dairy cows.
(10:16):
Our corn got in a little late, but I think
with that hot weather we had two weeks ago, the
corn really caught up, so I think we're in good
shape there. So I think we'll have plenty of dileage
and foreach for the cows and the dairy people going
through the winter.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
When you when you mentioned, hey, is that primarily alfalfa
or what sir?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
It's most farms now today are growing primarily alfalfa. Yes,
that's that's higher in protein than regular grass. That's why
we grow up.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And does its nitrogen fixing? Does it help? Is alfalfa
good for the soil also or no?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yes, Actually, that's another reason we grow it. We don't
have to put nigen on it because after you get
established it, uh, it grabs kniche out of the air
through bacteria.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, it's when we were younger. Timothy was another not
as they made a lot of Timothy hay back in
the day, didn't they.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yes, Timothy hay a lot of the horse people horses
like the Timothy hay. But it doesn't fix nitrogen like alfalfa. Right,
And alfalfa has a better root system, so it looses
up the soil more and helps out with raising the
(11:39):
organic manner in your uh in your soils. Compute for
other crops after you get done growing the alfalfa for
three to four.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Years is Robert Colby? Last question about past You know
the lantern fly gets attention. I think that hurts grapes.
Does that Does that bother farmers doing row crops sir?
Or No?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Not that I know?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
No, No, we haven't had any problems with them.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
It affects most woody type of animals things. I don't know.
It might hurt some of the orchards, but not the
row crop people.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Excellent Robert Colby, his family farming in this this area
for almost two hundred twenty five years. Remember the legislature, sir.
I always appreciate your insights and and also thanks for
feeding us. That's a pretty nice thing.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Well, well, thanks for all the work you do getting
the message out about things going on in this county.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
It's my honor. Thank you so much. I appreciate you.
Robert Colby Colby Farms. My big takeaway is it's a
great time to eat sweet corn. Back in a moment
with you on news radio Wham eleven eighty. Mother used
to say, talk down. I heard radio wa use the
talk back features. Say what you want, Tap that red
(13:01):
microphone and talk back to use radio Bill Gray's Home
of the world's Greatest cheeseburger canning. I remember my mother
when I was young. She had been taught by her
mother how to can, and you know, there'd be a
big garden, and you know, everything came out of that garden.
(13:22):
It went into a mason jar, and it went on
a shelf down in the basement, and you know, you
might get tired of eating it, but you were, You
were eating. And it was the spirit of self reliance
in that making pickles, putting stuff aside a lot of
green beans. I I do not have that skill, and
(13:44):
I at some point, maybe i'th ever retired. I'd like
to learn that at this season of the year, if
you knew how to can or freeze or stuff like that,
you can get produce at very good prices in very
good quantities, and you know, freezing that putting away something
like that. I think that that would be outstanding. I
(14:07):
reached out earlier today to the union that represents correctional officers.
Didn't hear anything back yet, But this morning there was
a report from mister Laski about a series of purposeful
brawls at Groveland Correctional Facility. In effect over the course
of seven hours. There was kind of I don't want
(14:30):
to say many riot, but a purposeful, ongoing, violent confrontation
with many injuries of inmates and correctional officers. And I'd
like to learn more about that. Like I said, I've
reached out to the union. If you know you are
a correctional officer, part of a correctional family at Groveland,
(14:52):
or if you have a loved one who is an
inmate at Groveland and know anything about this, I'd be
very eager to hear. You know, I'm naive as heck
you and I we don't know what goes on behind
bars and Groveland. You know, it's right down the road
from my house. At night, you can see the glow
(15:15):
in the sky from the prison. Anytime we go south
we drive by. And I'm probably ignorant in this, but
Groveland being a medium security facility, you sort of presume
that things are kind of quiet there. No prison is
a good place. No prison is a completely safe place.
But you know, you don't think of Groveland as a
(15:37):
place where particularly bad things happen. But you know, you
don't always think what's right. Sometimes you think what's wrong. Anyway,
the unresolved problems of the State Department of Corrections and
Community Service continue unabated. We're coming up on a year
and a half since that wildcat strike. None of the
(15:58):
issues that the officers were facing that have been addressed. Still,
our prisons are able to run only with the presence
of hundreds of National guardsmen, and conditions for correctional employees
and for inmates are not acceptable. Right and still this
(16:22):
goes forward and nobody says much. The governor gets a pass,
the commissioner gets a pass, and prisoners and employees continue
to live or work in a dangerous environment. It's time
for Dave Diebo's newscast on news Radio Wham eleven eighty

How are goods? Are good? I just sent you a
note on Facebook.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yes, you did well.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I appreciate you calling up. Can I say your full
name or should you say it? Or what do you
want to do? Angel of Guile, Yes, sir, I believe
you spend a little bit of time in the United
States Marine Corps.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
I spent twenty three years in the Marine Corps.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
That's outstanding. That's outstanding. It's a dumb question, that's rhetorical question.
What does that mean to you, sir? What did your
service mean? Please?
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Brother? Mental the world to me. I would do it
in a heartbeat again. My family, my friends, this country
mean everything to me. This country has given me everything
I have and has provided for me the opportunity to
provide for my country. So again, I would do it
(21:08):
in a heart beat, over and over again.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That's the best. God bless you, sir, and thank you
for that lifetime of service. Angel Aguayo. I'm out running
sometimes on North Clinton about this time of year, and
there will be often ladies out there selling a small
fruit out of boxes on tables. I don't know what
they are. I don't know how to eat them. I
(21:31):
wonder if you could tell us please.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Yeah, they're called canap us, or what can be referred
to as like a Spanish lime, small round greenin and
the way you eat them, basically is you just crack
the skin open, then you suck the pulp off that's
on a seed, and that's it. You don't find them
too often, but when you do, everybody you know try
(21:57):
to seek them out and get them while why they last?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Are they sweet or are they like a citrus or
what do they taste like? Please?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Oh, SIT's as sweet. That's as sweet. They're really good.
They're really good.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Uh huh. There, and they grow in Puerto Rico.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
They grow in Puerto Rico. They've grown a slow grown
tree anywhere from forty to eighty feet high, has nice flowers.
They smell well. And again, whenever you see him on
the street here, the word gets out and everybody tries
to get some before they run out.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Angel Loguio, and I guess they must be ripe about now,
because it's usually this time of the summer when we
see him, right.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah, well me about this time of the summer when
everybody starts asking he is anybody sen connect us? So
the word gets out, yes.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
All right, so tell me how to eat them again.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
You just take the skin off and just suck the
pump off the seed. There's a seed in the middle
surrounded by this pulp and you just you suck it all.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Very cool, very good. I peel it with my fingers, right.
I don't need a knife or anything like that.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
No, you don't need a knife.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
It's a self so you can even just just put
it in your mouth and just fight on it with
your teeth and it'll crack open and just pull it
off and go at it.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Notutstanding. I'll go get some today. I'll go get some today.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
There's a couple of nice ladies set up over there
on North Clinton Avenue. They had a Facebook post and
I went by there just now. I think they're open
from eleven to eight day, eight o'clock tonight.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Do you recall what the price is worth, sir?
Speaker 4 (23:31):
It's five dollars for basically a standwich zip block size bag.
And while you're there, it'll give you a stamping.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Nice ladies, not standing outstanding, life's good? Anything else you
want to comment on in the world.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
No, No, I listen to you every day, Bob. You
do well for our community. I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I'm monitor and I appreciate the lifetime of service that
you that you lived. Is you know, we're living in
a time where you know, you you you spoke powerfully
of patriotism a few moments ago. We're living in a
time where some young people coming up don't have that
same sense of patriotism or love of country, may not
value freedom quite as much as as others. What do
(24:15):
we do about that? Do you have any advice for
those young people?
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Well, you know, I do see that, and I get
that same sense. But I also see examples. For example,
where I work at there's a young man that you know,
I have no how we marines are we past our
Marine Corps heritage all over the walls, and so he
saw that and he comes in. He wanted to talk
to me about the Marine Corps because he he wanted
(24:40):
to do it. So he came in, asked for advice,
what to expect, so and so forth. So I see
examples out there the time of you know, a young
man and women being you know, they have that calm.
You bet we hadn't completely disappeared, but you know, watching
the news, you'd think otherwise, but we got it's out there.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
It's still yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's it. And
I'm not putting down the news people, but watching the news,
you'd think otherwise. But in terms of like military service,
which is one way you know, patriotism can be shown,
They're they're putting people in every day, you know, the
sons and daughters of America. Yea, one days. I will
go get some today, sir, on your recommendation. Enjoying well,
(25:24):
Angela guios there again. Thank you for telling us about this,
and thanks for being a marine, sir. I'm grateful to you.
Awesome God bless you brother. You take care a gentleman
with whom I've had contact over a great many years.
And and if you get up that way, and you should,
I just messed up my computer. Forgive me. But there'll
(25:46):
be this time of year, the next couple of weeks,
people selling them out of boxes on North Clinton Avenue
and there I have never set the technique he described
for eating them. I have sitting back in the car
trying to figure out how to hell to do that.
I've not been particularly successful, but I'm going to give
it another shot. Listeners on the looses next two two
(26:07):
to eleven eighty the number this is news radio Wham
eleven eighty. The great American people. People are so nice.
I want to move that. Well, that's america best thing
for another two fifty You have no idea We've got
and how lucky you On news radio eighty. Hey friends,
Lnsbury here talking with Jason, the general manager of Jamestown Mattress. Jason,
(26:28):
what do you want people to know about why shopping
locally and buying locally made products is the right thing
to do.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I think it's really important because it's a statement of
support for your local community and appreciation for unique quality
of products. Our products are factory directs, so you also
avoid a middleman markup. There's less transportation involved, you save
on freight charges that way, and your money stays in
the community.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Sir, how do you think that the buying experience at
Jamestown Mattress compares to say, buying a mattress online.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
When you're buying a mattress on line. It's sight unseen.
When you come in here, you can lay down. I
go over all of the different options you have. You
get everything you need if you need a frame, a
box spring, something that simple that you might miss online,

But first, another hour with Bob Lonsbury starts now on
News Radio Way.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
I'm all thanks, sir, I appreciate that. Good morning, my friend.
Thank you very much for tuning in. Peering out the
window here. Yeah, it's a flat out beautiful day for
a radio program. Is summer is upon us. The gardens,
the farms are producing, and it is a lush, wonderful,
blessed season that is upon us. See how things are
(00:28):
going on the farm. What we should have our eyes
and our minds open to. Are to be joined by
a longtime farmer and a veteran member of the Monroe
County Legislature, the armb of Robert Colby, Sir, good morning,
welcome to the broadcast.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Good morning, Bob.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
First question is what it always is. How long your
people been farming it here?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Sir, oh, two twenty four years?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Man, that's outstanding. Who were the first ones.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
The Kobe Yeah brothers that came up here in eighteen
o two, and they came from Salisbury, New Hampshire, and
they were came from England in the round seventeen hundred.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
It's astounding, what a great, great history and the.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Reason they're out here is because my ancestor served under
George Washington and went up to Lake Champlain, and he
saw that the farmland to the west was better than
the racky New Hampshire. So when his boys got old enough,
he sent him out west to find some good farmland.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
If you get into New Hampshire parts of Vermont, even
getting down like Westchester County, down in the Lower Hudson,
it is so rocky and so rough. I don't see
how those people lived down there.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
It was amazing. Matter of fact, the original farmhouse that
they lived in is still standing down there, the Kobe
Family Museum.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Wow, that's very cool. What a great great history.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Sir.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, here we are, first week of August. How are
the farms doing well?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Excuse me, this is the August is probably the best month.
If you want the sweetest, best sweet corn you're gonna
get anywhere, go to the farm. Any farm market in
August is our best sweet corn months. So if you
like sweet corn, you should be out eating sweet corn
every day.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Absolutely. How long does that windows stay open?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Well, it'll stay open, really tell It'll stay open till
we get a first frost. But most people by time
you get to the uh, first of October, it's not
as sweet. Maybe some people will tell you because the
sunlight is sure. Yeah, yeah, but you got you got,
(03:00):
you got August and at least till the first of October.
Of grade eating of sweet corn.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
And a lot of places, it's about six dollars a
dozen or so, do you think.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Well, yeah, I think so. It's about the running price.
I mean it's got up some. It might be a
little more in New York State. It's more because to
pick hand pick that sweet corn costs more money in
New York because our labor bill is higher. That's the
story for another day.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, picking sweet corn. How do people do That's that's
not done by machine?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yes, and no?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Okay, the.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Processed sweet corn is all done by machine. The farm
market sweet corn, half of it's done by machine and
half is done by hand.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
All I know is the Amish dad sends his kids
out and they come back with corn, and we pay
them for it, and everything's good.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Okay. Yeah, they don't have to buy his shoes either.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I have awful tough feet in those little kids. What
else is ripe? If that's the right word, now, please sir?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Well right now, you know, we've got peaches coming around
the corner, and the end of the of the sweet
sweet cherries are probably wrapping up. You've got your zucchini
and all those cucumbers. All those things are coming around
nicely right now. And in your markets. Oh, your coal
(04:32):
crops like broccoli, coliflower, in cabbage, they're all knocking on
the door. Some of those are ready now, but the
bulk of those at the end of the month. We
grow potatoes. You're talking about potato chips. We grow potatoes,
and we'll start taking potatoes probably another week or ten
days and have them available at our farms. And potato chips,
(04:57):
I remember hitting the same can potato chips that you
talked about.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Too bad.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
We don't have any potato chip chippers in New York
because all the processing chip potato people have left New
York state?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Is?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Why? Why is that?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Sir? It's too hard to do business in New York
because all all the crowd factories have left New York.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, I mean, and not that long ago again, there
used to be a Sauer Kraut festival in Phelps, right
was it silver Floss or something? Was the local brand?
I can't remember you're.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Correct, and they used to be the we used to
grow about half the crowd cabbage in the United States
used to be grown in that penyan Uh area between
there and Potatoa. Used to be half the crowd cabbage
in the in the United States was produced.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
With the departure of the Sauer Kraut processors, have we
lost that market for that cabbage or or no, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, for the b for the balcle you can't afford
a ship at the other States where a skimming process. Yeah,
because of bulky item. Well, I mean there's some there's
some small krout guys. You know, they are growing just
for fresh market fresh crowd well pop operations. But the
(06:29):
big two plants have left.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That's terrible. I remember years years ago, probably as a
function of this, you could drive on five and twenty
and there'd be two or three or four or five
places where they'd be selling just the biggest cabbage you
ever saw there on the side of the road for
a great price.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
No quarter quarter ahead.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah. Yeah, potatoes, I'm in a potato mood. They're almost ready,
you say, well.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
We they are ready. There are some now available. But
the bulk of them will be the middle of August.
But we got a few that we're digging now. But
the bulk of the crop is a September crop, Okay,
in September. So but you you, I'm sure most some
of the farm markets would have potatoes in their stores now.
(07:18):
I mean, if you go to the grocery store, chances
are you get the potatoes are from Maryland is where
they being or Canada. Excuse me, uh, we encourage Canada
potatoes in the United States. We do well, we don't
what our policies do.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, really, I mean it's they get they get a
favorable trade situation from us.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
They're they're favorable trade to bring them in and their
government uh supplement supplements. They're exports of potatoes into the United.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
States, as you know, better than in New York, especially
down in Stuben County. As such, we have and including
western Monroe County, we have a great heritage for potato
growing around here, right.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah, excuse me. The potatoes in the Beun County and
Caloriadas County, all those southern tier counties throw a lot
of potatoes still today, a lot of potatoes and they're
all going for chips to like Wys potato chips and
Ups potato chips, and I can't think of the other company.
(08:27):
Right over the border in the Pennsylvania they have chipping
plants and see potato chips. You can ship the potato,
but you can't ship the chips very far because they're
so light and bluffy. Stall The chip plants like to
be near high populations, so they built the plants in
(08:47):
the southern eastern Pennsylvania so they can service New York
to Boston down to Washington with chips. That's why the
chip plants are in that area.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Monroe County and over into Orleans and Genesee. They do.
They also grow potatoes for chips there too, sir.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Not typically no, okay. More in the southern potatoes are
don't like real hot weather. They like cool, cool weather.
And so that's why the southern tier and the elevation
difference just enough to make it a little cooler, so
they grow a little a little better in the southern tier.
(09:31):
That's why they grow so many in the potatoes up
in Maine, because potatoes like, they don't like real hot.
When it gets about eighty five, they don't grow. They
just sit there and look at you.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah, is Robert Colby of course talking about things going
on on the farm. What else anything else going on
or coming up soon?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Sir? Oh, not too much. I mean we're getting ready.
We were. The rains have been nfl. It's not a
little too much. But our pay crop for our cattle,
our cows, our milk cows is we're having some of
the best cropping for raising food for our dairy cows.
(10:16):
Our corn got in a little late, but I think
with that hot weather we had two weeks ago, the
corn really caught up, so I think we're in good
shape there. So I think we'll have plenty of dileage
and foreach for the cows and the dairy people going
through the winter.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
When you when you mentioned, hey, is that primarily alfalfa
or what sir?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
It's most farms now today are growing primarily alfalfa. Yes,
that's that's higher in protein than regular grass. That's why
we grow up.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And does its nitrogen fixing? Does it help? Is alfalfa
good for the soil also or no?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yes, Actually, that's another reason we grow it. We don't
have to put nigen on it because after you get
established it, uh, it grabs kniche out of the air
through bacteria.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, it's when we were younger. Timothy was another not
as they made a lot of Timothy hay back in
the day, didn't they.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yes, Timothy hay a lot of the horse people horses
like the Timothy hay. But it doesn't fix nitrogen like alfalfa. Right,
And alfalfa has a better root system, so it looses
up the soil more and helps out with raising the
(11:39):
organic manner in your uh in your soils. Compute for
other crops after you get done growing the alfalfa for
three to four.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Years is Robert Colby? Last question about past You know
the lantern fly gets attention. I think that hurts grapes.
Does that Does that bother farmers doing row crops sir?
Or No?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Not that I know?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
No, No, we haven't had any problems with them.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
It affects most woody type of animals things. I don't know.
It might hurt some of the orchards, but not the
row crop people.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Excellent Robert Colby, his family farming in this this area
for almost two hundred twenty five years. Remember the legislature, sir.
I always appreciate your insights and and also thanks for
feeding us. That's a pretty nice thing.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Well, well, thanks for all the work you do getting
the message out about things going on in this county.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
It's my honor. Thank you so much. I appreciate you.
Robert Colby Colby Farms. My big takeaway is it's a
great time to eat sweet corn. Back in a moment
with you on news radio Wham eleven eighty. Mother used
to say, talk down. I heard radio wa use the
talk back features. Say what you want, Tap that red
(13:01):
microphone and talk back to use radio Bill Gray's Home
of the world's Greatest cheeseburger canning. I remember my mother
when I was young. She had been taught by her
mother how to can, and you know, there'd be a
big garden, and you know, everything came out of that garden.
(13:22):
It went into a mason jar, and it went on
a shelf down in the basement, and you know, you
might get tired of eating it, but you were, You
were eating. And it was the spirit of self reliance
in that making pickles, putting stuff aside a lot of
green beans. I I do not have that skill, and
(13:44):
I at some point, maybe i'th ever retired. I'd like
to learn that at this season of the year, if
you knew how to can or freeze or stuff like that,
you can get produce at very good prices in very
good quantities, and you know, freezing that putting away something
like that. I think that that would be outstanding. I
(14:07):
reached out earlier today to the union that represents correctional officers.
Didn't hear anything back yet, But this morning there was
a report from mister Laski about a series of purposeful
brawls at Groveland Correctional Facility. In effect over the course
of seven hours. There was kind of I don't want
(14:30):
to say many riot, but a purposeful, ongoing, violent confrontation
with many injuries of inmates and correctional officers. And I'd
like to learn more about that. Like I said, I've
reached out to the union. If you know you are
a correctional officer, part of a correctional family at Groveland,
(14:52):
or if you have a loved one who is an
inmate at Groveland and know anything about this, I'd be
very eager to hear. You know, I'm naive as heck
you and I we don't know what goes on behind
bars and Groveland. You know, it's right down the road
from my house. At night, you can see the glow
(15:15):
in the sky from the prison. Anytime we go south
we drive by. And I'm probably ignorant in this, but
Groveland being a medium security facility, you sort of presume
that things are kind of quiet there. No prison is
a good place. No prison is a completely safe place.
But you know, you don't think of Groveland as a
(15:37):
place where particularly bad things happen. But you know, you
don't always think what's right. Sometimes you think what's wrong. Anyway,
the unresolved problems of the State Department of Corrections and
Community Service continue unabated. We're coming up on a year
and a half since that wildcat strike. None of the
(15:58):
issues that the officers were facing that have been addressed. Still,
our prisons are able to run only with the presence
of hundreds of National guardsmen, and conditions for correctional employees
and for inmates are not acceptable. Right and still this
(16:22):
goes forward and nobody says much. The governor gets a pass,
the commissioner gets a pass, and prisoners and employees continue
to live or work in a dangerous environment. It's time

service mean? Please?
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Brother? Mental the world to me. I would do it
in a heartbeat again. My family, my friends, this country
mean everything to me. This country has given me everything
I have and has provided for me the opportunity to
provide for my country. So again, I would do it
(21:08):
in a heart beat, over and over again.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That's the best. God bless you, sir, and thank you
for that lifetime of service. Angel Aguayo. I'm out running
sometimes on North Clinton about this time of year, and
there will be often ladies out there selling a small
fruit out of boxes on tables. I don't know what
they are. I don't know how to eat them. I
(21:31):
wonder if you could tell us please.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Yeah, they're called canap us, or what can be referred
to as like a Spanish lime, small round greenin and
the way you eat them, basically is you just crack
the skin open, then you suck the pulp off that's
on a seed, and that's it. You don't find them
too often, but when you do, everybody you know try
(21:57):
to seek them out and get them while why they last?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Are they sweet or are they like a citrus or
what do they taste like? Please?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Oh, SIT's as sweet. That's as sweet. They're really good.
They're really good.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Uh huh. There, and they grow in Puerto Rico.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
They grow in Puerto Rico. They've grown a slow grown
tree anywhere from forty to eighty feet high, has nice flowers.
They smell well. And again, whenever you see him on
the street here, the word gets out and everybody tries
to get some before they run out.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Angel Loguio, and I guess they must be ripe about now,
because it's usually this time of the summer when we
see him, right.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Yeah, well me about this time of the summer when
everybody starts asking he is anybody sen connect us? So
the word gets out, yes.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
All right, so tell me how to eat them again.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
You just take the skin off and just suck the
pump off the seed. There's a seed in the middle
surrounded by this pulp and you just you suck it all.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Very cool, very good. I peel it with my fingers, right.
I don't need a knife or anything like that.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
No, you don't need a knife.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
It's a self so you can even just just put
it in your mouth and just fight on it with
your teeth and it'll crack open and just pull it
off and go at it.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Notutstanding. I'll go get some today. I'll go get some today.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
There's a couple of nice ladies set up over there
on North Clinton Avenue. They had a Facebook post and
I went by there just now. I think they're open
from eleven to eight day, eight o'clock tonight.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Do you recall what the price is worth, sir?
Speaker 4 (23:31):
It's five dollars for basically a standwich zip block size bag.
And while you're there, it'll give you a stamping.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Nice ladies, not standing outstanding, life's good? Anything else you
want to comment on in the world.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
No, No, I listen to you every day, Bob. You
do well for our community. I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I'm monitor and I appreciate the lifetime of service that
you that you lived. Is you know, we're living in
a time where you know, you you you spoke powerfully
of patriotism a few moments ago. We're living in a
time where some young people coming up don't have that
same sense of patriotism or love of country, may not
value freedom quite as much as as others. What do
(24:15):
we do about that? Do you have any advice for
those young people?
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Well, you know, I do see that, and I get
that same sense. But I also see examples. For example,
where I work at there's a young man that you know,
I have no how we marines are we past our
Marine Corps heritage all over the walls, and so he
saw that and he comes in. He wanted to talk
to me about the Marine Corps because he he wanted
(24:40):
to do it. So he came in, asked for advice,
what to expect, so and so forth. So I see
examples out there the time of you know, a young
man and women being you know, they have that calm.
You bet we hadn't completely disappeared, but you know, watching
the news, you'd think otherwise, but we got it's out there.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
It's still yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's it. And
I'm not putting down the news people, but watching the news,
you'd think otherwise. But in terms of like military service,
which is one way you know, patriotism can be shown,
They're they're putting people in every day, you know, the
sons and daughters of America. Yea, one days. I will
go get some today, sir, on your recommendation. Enjoying well,
(25:24):
Angela guios there again. Thank you for telling us about this,
and thanks for being a marine, sir. I'm grateful to you.
Awesome God bless you brother. You take care a gentleman
with whom I've had contact over a great many years.
And and if you get up that way, and you should,
I just messed up my computer. Forgive me. But there'll
(25:46):
be this time of year, the next couple of weeks,
people selling them out of boxes on North Clinton Avenue
and there I have never set the technique he described
for eating them. I have sitting back in the car

Lnsbury here talking with Jason, the general manager of Jamestown Mattress. Jason,
(26:28):
what do you want people to know about why shopping
locally and buying locally made products is the right thing
to do.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I think it's really important because it's a statement of
support for your local community and appreciation for unique quality
of products. Our products are factory directs, so you also
avoid a middleman markup. There's less transportation involved, you save
on freight charges that way, and your money stays in
the community.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Sir, how do you think that the buying experience at
Jamestown Mattress compares to say, buying a mattress online.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
When you're buying a mattress on line. It's sight unseen.
When you come in here, you can lay down. I
go over all of the different options you have. You
get everything you need if you need a frame, a
box spring, something that simple that you might miss online,
schedule the delivery for you inherits a really personalized experience.
