Thanks for the tour on the potatoes farms and the mint farm, keep up the great work!!

We love that you are showing different farmers and what they grow.

Our bountiful land. Blessed above all others.

Your video takes me back to childhood days in Carleton County, N.B. when we actually "picked potatoes" for 2 cents a barrel. Thankfully the potato harvester was invented and I worked for a farmer through my teen years on the harvest hauling 5 ton bulk truck loads to the potato house for storage. Good days - hard work - lots of fun.

Ryan, you are "In the Zone" now with your videos. I love seeing the other crops, and your drone work, editing, and music have become superb! Great stuff!

Im a potato farmer in central Michigan and we have a similar process except we use two 6 row winrowers and pull 12 rows of potatoes into the center and then our harvester follows behind. We have around 3300 acres and we grow seed corn for pioneer and corn sold to be turned into e85. We grow soybeans and wheat.

I’ve enjoyed your last two videos on mint harvest and potatoes. Each one had content that was interesting. Keep up the good work.

Thanks to all the farmers growing our food.

Thanks for taking the time to show these different crops.

Very interesting! Thanks Ryan! Keep making videos like this one showing different types of crops and how they are grown and harvested!

Hey Ryan thanks for the variety of video’s, really enjoyed this one 👍

Another educational video. Love them.

I like that old mack superliner that they got!

Drive by this farm all the time. It's just 4 miles down the road from my house. I grew up on a dairy farm where we rotated wheat, soybeans, and corn so it's interesting to see the different crops that get grown down in this area.

Thanks: John and Will!

Potatoes were a big business for a while outside of Spring Green in the sandy Wisconsin river bottom land. My dad, a retired farmer, ran the scales weighing the trucks. Thanks!

These guys help feed America, hats off and a salute.

Appreciate these guys doing what they do!

another awesome videos getting to see another type of harvest for the first time. thanks ryan

Yes, field trip. 🥔 I asked to see more and you are delivering. Thanks, Ryan 😁 Loved the video, Micel

Ryan, this was awesome. Everyone has seen how corn, soybeans, and wheat is harvested. I hadnt a hot clue about potatoes. Good vid!

Awesome,. Thank you for sharing your video..

Awesome interview!!

Now I want some chips!! Great vid Bry!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for making videos thank you for teaching people how to farm

Great video Ryan. It's good to see how different forms of farming get done. We have 1000's of acres of what we call muck here in central/western Ny. Mainly onions and potatoes

Thanks for sharing. I worked on a farm and we use to pick them by hand and put them in a burlap bag. Looks like somethings change for the better. They had a farm stand where the sold potato chips and I would spend my pay on chips they just put in the bag. Chips are delicious either way.

Great job videoing this!

Thank God for farmers!!!

Awesome video Ryan

I just watched this video and am hungry for some potato chips! Thanks man!

Love the old Mack superliner!

Great video and thanks for helping feed America 🇺🇸👍

That was SOOOOOO awesome to see.

Thanks for sharing guys..

Great video Ryan. You sure make interesting. Keep it up!

Great video, last time I dug potatoes, I dug potatoes many years ago on the farm. Granted only a few rows. but got families through off season.

Great videos,thanks to all?👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Impressive operation! We use to plant potatoes on our family garden that was huge! Grandpa would come over with his Shaw du-all garden tractor with a spade an dig numorous trenches an the rest of us would drop a seed potato about a foot apart. Than grandpa change to tapered disks that covered them up.

Awsome video Ryan.

This was great to see. Potato Farming is big in our area (New Brunswick, Maine and PEI (Prince Edward Island), but I am always working during harvest and never get to see (October(ish)). Love the older trucks in the field, but mainly the Superliner Mack.

That 5 ton pulling was awesome

Well it not much different it depends on the farmer mostly. Back in the 90's you had farmers using the newest equipment on one field,on a other field you would see the exact same equipment you see in this video and in another field you would see people zitting on a harvester going real slow wher the people sitting where doing the sorting.

It's an interesting process, that's for sure👍

About an hour south of the mint farm in Indiana they grow a lot of tomatoes for Red Gold near Elwood, Indiana... my other brother-in-law used to drive trucks hauling tomatoes out of the fields to the plant there... basically they were these special low-sided side-dump semi trailers that they WASH the tomatoes out of the trailers... The harvesters are somewhat similar, but of course they don't dig the plants up, just cut them off and then separate off the tomatoes from the vines, stems, and leaves... the tomatoes themselves are pretty small and hard, "processing" tomatoes, not "table tomatoes" like you'd eat fresh... Of course by the time they're cooked down and pulped and made into ketchup with all the other ingredients that make ketchup, it doesn't matter... when chopped or crushed and canned to make canned tomatoes, or tomato sauce, they work fine, but they'd be pretty lousy on your sandwich LOL:) They grow potatoes, green beans, cucumbers, and sweet corn for canning in northern Indiana as well. Later! OL J R :)

I’m a potato farmer from Florida and this video is getting me exited for harvest! And I know John!

Sure beats digging by hand.

I sure do miss that sweet smell of the earth digging potatoes. ‼️ I miss the 1945 EH Mack Grandpop bought second hand from Forsgate Farms ‼️

Just finished digging spuds here in Idaho. We averaged 450 sacks an acre. Main difference is we prefer rotation out of hay since potatoes are high nitrogen users.

Wow, Harvest is a lot more like corn that I had thought.

being in northern maine where they do potatoes for french fries and hasbrowns as well as some chips, i see the regional difference in how they are grown, we cant plant right now, 4+ feet of snow still on the ground and our harvest is end of oct into nov. the harvesters used look much different and up here they have people on the harvesters clearing rocks and other junk off. having unloaded many hundreds of thousands of pounds i can say the tater you had in your hand is tiny but for chips huge ones arent great, its interesting to see thanks for doing this video

Nothing better than those potatoes straight out of the ground

Sweet video

Tater's Precious... I lived in Evansville all those years and never realized those Charles' Chips came from just up the road there.

i like how they explain why you need to plant something after

Great video, very interesting. It is interesting to see how other areas do things. Where I am from if we loaded potatoes like that every load would be rejected because of bruise. We basically harvested the same way but our trucks had beds that the side would lower and when you started out the side would be down and the loader would be lowered to the very bottom of the bed and the as the load built up you would raise the side of the bed and then complete the load. Never drop a potato more than 6 inches. Of course we were raising for the fresh market and stored them all winter also.

@lukestrawwalker

Yep, big difference between "table potatoes" for the fresh market and "canning" or "processing" potatoes for the fries and chip industry, where they're processed almost immediately. Bruising rots table varieties and damages their appearance and value short term, and "table" varieties are often much softer and more fragile than typical "processing" or "canning" varieties... They grow Red Gold tomatoes here in northern Indiana as well and those things are like a rock when they're in the field and ready to be picked... they look like a tomato but smaller and harder than any table tomato, and the flavor only really comes out when they're cooked into ketchup or crushed or diced and canned... Later! OL J R :)

Nice video Ryan, Very familiar with the process myself. It's a very labor intensive crop. Should video the planting process.

@highkicker11

Sadly most planting is all around the same time. As you know. So when people are planting corn others are most likely planting potatos, sugarbeets, etc. So i dont think ryan will have the time during planting season

I am from Idaho and actually just literally 10 miles from where spudnik started, and I have a few things to compare. 1. I don’t know if it is just the fact those are going to be processed into chips or not but here, our spuds go directly to a warehouse to be packaged for your table. If the digger operator was ever caught dropping the spuds from that high, his brother (boss) would chew him out so bad because of the bruising. When we use our 18 wheeler, we get it right up to the digger so the bend in the top of the boom can put all the first spuds in the bottom gently. Alol the 10 wheelers have a side d’ore that folds down for the first 100 yards or so so the spuds aren’t just dropping from 10 feet above. 2. Around here they plant around may, and harvest end of sept beginning of October. It is so big we get 2 weeks out of school so kids can help drive truck and do the final cleanings. 3. When we harvest, we kill off the vines and then mow them when they are dead so the potato’s are the only thing coming in, except for the few small vines and heavy plants. I’m not trying to dig or critique their way. Like I said, I don’t know of it is different for potato chips. Just some differences compared to us that I noticed.

@farmerboywc9392

3 жыл бұрын

These are chip potatoes so bruising isn’t as big of an issue because they are a denser potato so that way when they are sliced thin they don’t fall apart and we don’t kill the vines because then the skins would set making it harder for the chipper at the factory to chip em

Lovely.

Was really interesting Ryan, theres alot of moving parts or shafts that could go wrong if a bearing went out. When I was driving truck I hauled potatoes into Chicago and they were made into chips but I don't really remember where I picked them up at, but guessing maybe in Michigan cuz I hauled cucumbers out of Southern Michigan to Chicago to be made into pickles and hauled the finished product to Sysco a food distributor. I hauled to Chicago one, down by Indy, bu Cleveland, a place by Rochelle Il. Madison Wi., Sioux falls SD, Oklahoma Ok. Omaha Ne. Picking cucumbers by machine into semi is quite a operation to pick, clean sort and bottle and pkg and ship to distributor wherever. I love digging fresh baby potatoes as when we had a big garden on the farm we wouldn't have less than 250 to 300 potatoes plants and we would start digging in July and have fresh potatoes for supper or breakfast.

Very cool.

when I was young we used to pick potatoes straight into the bags, by hand off the ground.

Ryan, if you ever hear of someone growing hemp or brussel sprouts, both are very interesting harvests.

Thanks for sharing a very interesting video, great drone and camera work. Recently saw a video on Tom Pemberton farm channel where he was buying potatoes to feed his cows, they seemed to like them.

Turnips are easier because you really don't have to dig them out beyond what a field cultivator can do... the cows will eat the tops and the bulbs (tubers) and you can plant turnips from seed, unlike potatoes... Wish he'd shown the inner workings of the potato planter and the mint planter, since both are planting root stock... don't get to see that much very often. Yeah I know they're probably sitting in the barn, but a walk around is fine, don't need 'actual field footage' to see how it works... OL J R :)
