Come See Peanuts and Sweet Potatoes Harvested AND my First Time in an Auto Steer! 🤩

Wow. Big day for this farm wife! Come along with me as I see peanuts and sweet potatoes harvested for the first time AND get to ride in not one, but two, big auto steer tractors. Hope you learn something, because I sure did. Special thanks to my friends, Brent, Sue, Colin and Carter Leggett with Leggett Farming Partnership in Nashville, NC for letting me pal around for the day. ❤️
Would you like more #TFWFarmTrips in the future? I'm thinking it should be a thing. We appreciate you being here! Until next time, Farm Hard Live Well! xx, The Bernards

Merdie videos like this are so informative because most people have no idea what it takes to produce the food, so people can go to the store and get what they want it's amazing!

[@terrireeves2661]

Love seeing this type of video mixed in with your regular videos! Everyone gets a chance to see the behind the scene view of where/how products are produced!

[@dadoftwinsau]

Thank you for taking the time to do this visit to Brent and Sue’s Farm(s)! This was a great education for my twin boys on where their food comes from and they were so surprised. Educational, fun and inspiring, please do more! P.S Maybe Wes would like to have a go at one of the GPS self drive tractors too! lol 😂 💫❤️💫🇦🇺

[@allendavidson6608]

Awesome Video today!, Thank You for bringing us along on your Journeys. It was Great to see your friend Sue's operation today, it showed and taught us a lot about other crops being grown all over this great country of ours. It is nice to see family oriented content and you do a wonderful job in explaining things in a way that a lot of your followers can understand and learn from.

[@joemehere1151]

I loved this farm trip. I had never seen peanut harvesting, sweet potato harvesting. Also, you asked all the questions that I had, Another great video Mere! 🥰

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Thanks so much for watching, Joe! Glad to hear all your questions got answered!

[@clintonstubbs2319]

Joe if you want to see more good peanut harvesting videos check out Field Rows and Terrell Spivey on KZbin. They both farm peanuts and also check out Denvil Presnal.

[@DoubleD.]

A very nice farm operation, thank you for taking me along.

[@charlenepartlow7880]

What an amazing young man ! Thanks again dearest ! Till next time ! You're the best in the whole world Meredith Bernard ! Your passion for sharing and caring surpasses all any expectations...You are a Godly woman ...and we are blessed to have you in our lives ! 😊🤗😘👍

[@kevinshepley1000]

Loved this visit, very informative. Please do more 🙏

[@lizzardnurphy]

To have all those crops to manage at once....wow. Organized chaos is right. Thanks for sharing with us. The farmers in NC are awesome.

[@williamwakefield2082]

Thanks for the educational 4H Agriculture tour with real “life” people including yourself. Love the family run operations that also invest in relationships with other operational components from migrant workers to school bus conversion fabricators, etc. America and other nations were built and sustained by these dedicated earthy people working both hard and smart! Meredith, you are the perfect genuine host to share and bring out the human elements and personalities of good people. Thank you for the positive, uplifting content! God bless you.

[@jimbirt6933]

Thank you so much were so glad to have y'all

[@Davidjb37721]

Thank you for sharing that with us when enjoy seeing more

[@jeroenschat6684]

Very interesting Meredith to see other farming ways. When you have so many people to feed then farming is very much the backbone of the country. Thank you.

[@garysoykin2783]

That was really awesome Meredith I think Lawrence is going to enjoy watching that video to it’s amazing how much goes into farming that people don’t realize I hope a lot of people watch this thank you very much.

[@douglasarmstrong2748]

Thank you so much for bringing us along on this wonderful "day trip." It was very interesting to see that large operation and seeing a part of what it takes to make a farm of that scale work. So many folks have no idea of what goes into the food that we eat and the crops that we use. Thanks again Meredith! Blessings all.

[@ritakinder4452]

this is the first time I have ever seen peanuts being harvested so Cool!! thank you for taking me along on your trip., my dad used to grow Sweet Potatoes and sugar beets so Have seen them harvested before. love the 4 wheel drive tractors they are so easy to drive. and even better now. thank you again for the Awesome Video God bless you and your family.

[@melindamoore3447]

Really loved seeing their operation! I can't even imagine all the things they have to do and remember!

[@margarettant1848]

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing another operation. Very interesting.

[@charleslutz5883]

Enjoyed it very much. I have farmed in Indiana for 50 years and learned so much from the video.

[@JamesTyreeII]

Amanda and I watched this video and enjoyed seeing sweet potatoes tobacco and cotton and peanuts and we live in NW Ohio which is corn and soy bean country and a little bit of wheat and then there’s some strawberries and pumpkins and occasionally Christmas tree farms and oh yeah… Tomatoes for canneries! It’s currently wrapping up tomato harvest season and soybean and corn season are underway but getting off to a bit of a slow start. We would certainly love to see more farm trips with Meredith!

[@currentfaves65]

Farm trips are fun. Very cool to see how different farms work.

[@bobhomestead7396]

Nothing better than people growing food. TY

[@paulws58]

That was a very interesting and educational video. I hope you do more of these videos. God bless.

[@bwagenberg]

Many more trips please. Absolutely interesting, well résearched, edited and FUN. Thanks.

[@randallcoffman3199]

Enjoyed the video Meredith. I'm sure many of your friends in farming would enjoy having you out to showcase their operations. It's interesting to see the specialised equipment at work.and to see how much effort goes into food production. I would like to see you do more of this, but...where would you find the time?! Thanks!

[@vickievellinga7187]

Yes more farms. That was fascinating. Thank you.

[@snooks5624]

Thanks for the video, I knew Boll but I didn't know Lint. I also didn't know that's how peanuts were harvested as well as the sweet potatoes. Learned a lot today wonderful family and farm :)

[@dominique___1980]

Sincerely ... one of the best videos ever. VERY educational. Thanks so much, all y'all~!!

[@ireneturner2944]

Meredith, WOW Thank you for showing and sharing this with us 🇺🇸 My mouth open the hole time.. WOW >>>>>>>>Just WOW!!!!!!!!!

[@donwilliams3626]

I always enjoy trips to the farm - getting back to my roots!

[@harleymarvin]

WHAT A TREAT!…Thank You for taking time to visit different aspects of farming. Living in the NW we have different types of Farming so it is great to see workings of farming in other parts of the USA. (Please do this periodically! 😊

[@rolandtinker734]

Meredith, thank you for sharing this video. It was wonderful and awesome. Fun to see how other crops are harvested and other farms work. Youre videos are the best and you are the best too!!! Again, thank you.🙂

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@pauljones5495]

Very good video. Nice to see how different crops are harvested. They look like they have their hands full. Thanks

[@jerryforeman4543]

Quite an operation! Thanks for sharing!

[@jamestaylor635]

I think you should do more of this type video. BTW, I love boiled peanuts. I picked cotton as a kid, we were paid a penny and a half to two cents a pound, I am probably telling my age.😊

[@kendunlap2719]

James we got a penny a pound on my Papa's farm.

[@michaelw6261]

You have gotten me hooked on that music......The River is calling

[@wilfredjones3008]

Wow!!! can't wait for strawberries , really interesting Thanks Meredith

[@kurtforster8136]

Awesome video, enjoyed all the different crops being harvested. I have never seen tobacco harvested before that was pretty cool. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@npvj5687]

So cool, learned a lot of new stuff 👍🏻

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Awesome to hear! 😁

[@droy3886]

Getting to see operations like that is very informational. Loved the video. God Bless, Daryl

[@allanchilton6432]

one of your best videos, quite fascinating to see this family's operation thank you.

[@justinmills8084]

Great job showing North Carolina harvest.

[@outdoorsdon]

Great video and one of your top 10! Thanks for the education and to your gracious hosts for sharing their lives with us! Bravo!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ThisFarmWife_]

So glad you enjoyed it, Don! Thank you for watching! 😊

[@suzylarry1]

Very nice tour of this farm ! Lots of education on this trip . Your two young'un's would have a blast working there, even if just for a day or two. They could see , as yo did, the scale of a large/med size operation. Great video

[@scatterbolt2578]

I grew up in Eastern NC. Good to see that sandy land again. I now get red clay on my boots.

[@davehall7178]

Yes if you can do more of these visits we would love it!

[@gailassink3724]

We liked the farm tour very much! That was overwhelmingly informative!!

[@richdillon2157]

I love all of your video's Meredith, But this one here was very special. I enjoyed this because it shows a different aspect and diversity of Farming. The same principals same concept, But different in so many ways. Thanks to Sue and her family for sharing there Farm Life, Very informative and interesting. Thanks you Meredith for taking all of us on your farm adventure, Really enjoyed it and as always thank you for sharing your video..

[@ThisFarmWife_]

So glad you enjoyed it, Rich! Thanks for watching and supporting!

[@pamelahowells3616]

Oh thank you sure learned a lot and you thank them from all of us for letting us learn more about farming

[@shirleyhowell9088]

❤❤❤❤ This is good to see how much goes into the farms to grow an harvest....very informative for those who have no idea ....Thank you Merdi ❤❤❤❤

[@marythornsberry6486]

Wow....love this and wish you would do more of it.!!!!!! Very interesting to see all of this in production!!!!

[@scottnunya1]

Interesting to see the how many different things one farm operation is doing

[@daynelaughman8437]

That was a awesome video and very interesting and learned a lot thanks. Meredith

[@benflint9877]

Awesome operation they have ,of course more farm tours.

[@larrycurts710]

I enjoyed your road trip. Being from the north, we don’t get to see the southern crop harvest. And the things that were talked about, such as the sweet potato harvest. I’ve seen regular potatoes being harvested and wondered why a machine couldn’t be used to harvest them until it was explained that the a machine would damage the skin. Very informative.

[@bostarbird5282]

Definitely enjoyed the farm trip. One vote for more.

[@6582rg]

This is great content. I learned so much in this brief video. Merideth-You are such a spitfire of a woman. Endless energy, and always trying to learn more about the farming industry. I love it.

[@stevenshover9262]

Thank you, awesome learning experience, would love to see more of this farm.. God bless..

[@ahuvachambers3333]

that was awesome. I am sure it was also eye opener for you. I could sense your excitement. 👍😃

[@billconch3514]

Very informative video Meredith. Thank you for sharing. I have harvested peanuts, sweet potatoes and cotton by hand before and am very impressed by this new technology. You actually look younger sitting in that tractor next to someone closer to your own age. I truly believe that you could operate any of these tractors if you could only believe in yourself.

[@larrywheeler9797]

Excellent vlog Meredith! Not sure about sweet potato and no tobacco here in Oklahoma but we do have all the rest. Loved the school bus conversions. You did great with the questions like you’ve done this before. Keep ‘em coming from time to time. Thank you! 🙏🏻🤞🤗❤️

[@bobbypool923]

Love it seeing different things one of the reasons I was first drawn to your channel. God is good.

[@stephentooke1770]

So many have never seen any of this! Wise fo you to share knowledge of how things get from field to table.

[@bookemdanno2737]

I learnd ALOT !! Even for a IOWA farm guy...GREAT Video !! BIG Thumbs Up ...always !!

[@wagal50]

Yes that was cool to see another farm.

[@Craftmaster37]

That was a great behind the scenes I had no idea thanks for sharing!

[@papaburf7275]

Awesome video - something like this say twice a year would be great! Going to see what others do is always fun but dont forget, we come here to see the Bernard operation and family vibe and it's a great vibe!

[@diverdan551]

Loved the farm trip Meredith!!! I used to work on a 600 acre, 6 million dollar walnut farm as a mechanic and equipment driver out here in Northern Ca. and learned a whole lot about walnut ranching during those years... Lots of daily hard hours and work, but really enjoyed the farming life and experiences and learning to operate and repair and maintain many types of farming equipment... Would love to see many farm trips when you find the time in the future... Thank you

[@helencline5768]

Loved learning ,yes do more. Very educational…

[@jimwerner636]

Awesome video it's nice to see how other crops aee planted and harvested. Thank you for all you do for your viewers, hopefully my family can meet yours sometime

[@tarheelpatch3386]

Tater time in Tarheel, they just dug a field beside me got a few buckets of culls( defective ones) to eat this winter.This use to be a tobacco farm until the buy out, I started a 6 years old picking up leaves in the barn worked in tobacco until the buyout when I was 30 .Now we rent the farm out. Wake ,Johnston & Sampson county NC

[@tomw5824]

Mere - excellent job. It was entertaining and educational. Please keep doing this type of vlog.

[@sandrarhea2328]

This was very interesting. I would enjoy seeing other farming operations. I learned a lot as well. Thank you!🚜

[@danielhurrle7008]

Great video Meredith, nice to see some different sides of the agriculture.

[@judystutts8331]

Loved this video. Very informative.

[@lisaarbour6784]

This was a great video! Your friends at Leggett Farms were very nice to allow you to video some of their huge operation. I learned a lot, too!😊❤

[@mattbarker7739]

Very interesting, it's always neat seeing different farming ways

[@donnaneff3268]

I learned that peanuts grow on the ground instead of trees thank you

[@tarheelpatch3386]

In the ground they are a pea not a nut

[@dotell3359]

Wow I learned so much 😁. Thank you and thanks to your friend. Fantastic farm.

[@b.haveman3024]

Thanks you for taking us with you. Loved it! Love all your video's. Greetings from The Netherlands 👋👋

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Glad you loved it, B! Thanks so much for watching!

[@JD-zm4eh]

Sweet potato bake with brown sugar and cinnamon, yumm! Those chopped school buses are cool, built to last, they were probably still in good running condition when gvmnt regulations made districts replace them with new computerized smog free models. Good video Merdi.

[@larss592]

Definite yes on future trips. Yay for american made and grown.

[@jessiegoss3712]

Like that music. Love peanuts. I've raised them too. Fresh peanuts parched are awesome. It looks like our watermelon picking buses. My Dad before he passed told me about a 460 acre section of land close to us that use to be planted in sweet potatoes. It was before I came into this world when my Dad was young. Sandy land. But now it is only grass land for cattle.

[@josealvor2677]

Que bonito video señora Meredith muchas Gracias

[@gerryjamieson1861]

WOW! WOW! WOW! What an operation. I learned so much from watching this. Thanks Mer and a huge thanks to your hosts.

[@nathansparrow1416]

well done , that was very interesting . its great how well the workers are looked after .

[@tommcguire6081]

I I enjoy that video thank you Meredith 😊

[@kevinclover2954]

Great Sweet Potatoes 🍠 information

[@davidbaker7126]

a lot of us know how it's done but there`s lots of things and different crops out there we know nothing about because it isn`t that hot in our country to grow it and you're a brilliant host for more of it

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

It was a coooooool video. I learned a lot. Thank you. Blessings

[@ThisFarmWife_]

Glad you enjoyed it, Betty Jo! xx

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Well done Mrs. B. 🙂👍

[@davidschlecht3016]

Meridith, great video and very entertaining and educational.As you said I had no idea the hand labor involved in the harvest of sweet potatoes. I plant 15 to 20 plants in my garden and to hand dig I say that is hard work, not really unlike the acreage you showed in this video. A great job really enjoyed this video.
