To grow tomatoes in the Midwest, the plants need to be grown off the ground. The method we use is post and string. It's the most economical way we've found to grow 5000 plus tomato plants. But now that it's time to clean the field, that means pulling out more than 1500 t-posts and rebar stakes. The best way to do that is with a tractor and two people. One drives the tractor and operates the loader, the other lassos the posts with a short chain bolted to the bucket. This method works good and fast.
