I've decided to not try to "win the algorithm", and only make videos about what I'm genuinely interested in. Thank you very much for watching this video about Pecans. If you'd like to support a guy in Alabama making videos about (among other things) Pecans, please consider supporting here: www.patreon.com/smartereveryday. I send literally every Patreon supporter a really cool baseball with a Smarter Every Day logo on it.

I spent many days picking up pecans on haves with my grandfather when I was a kid. We would pickup literally 100's of buckets every year and half what we picked up with the landowner. We would then take them to be cracked. We would spend days sorting and bagging every one before thanksgiving in 2lbs bags. My grandfather would give away most of them to people to cook pies and sell what he could and would buy us kids Christmas presents. My fondest memories were picking pecans, grapes and berry's from the side of the road. It was such a wonderful time in my life. Thanks for sparking these memories with this video.

And I asked anybody in nuts farming business to contribute and correct. Yet you insist on your superficial impressions of just looking at his polite forced smiles only.

I think it might be worse than The Slow Mo Guys shooting glitter. Maybe it's because we kinda know what falling leaves look like compared to a macro shot of glitter falling.

[@KingsOutdoorLife]

I don’t understand what y’all are talking about but I would like to. Please explain.

[@Erteywie]

@@KingsOutdoorLife notice how the video looks like garbage when there's slow motion leaves falling? Having that much stuff on the screen causes the bitrate to go up. youtube limits it's bitrate pretty low, so if you come across a video that has a ton of stuff going on, it'll look like that. That's why you get a better video watching at a higher resolution even if your display doesn't support it, because the higher the video resolution, the higher the bitrate cap..... more or less. That's my understanding of it, and I'm sure there might be wrong terms, but I think it gets the gist across.

I love these! I grew up on Sand Mountain. Al ( Sylvania 1980! ) I knew Farmers were smarter every day because they could figure out stuff on the farmer.

Pride and joy in that farmers face says it all. Genuinely enjoyed this one Destin. Thumbs up from Wisconsin!

[@richarddblythe]

Love the down to earth approach to science. Destin is an awesome guy!! Thanks Destin for giving us some "hands on" knowledge about everyday life

I clicked to see if something interesting could indeed be made from the seemingly mundane. Mission accomplished sir! 👍

[@maheedharuppala4673]

Quint sir I see your videos too they are really splendid, I suggest you have a look at these youtube channels they are informative, veritasim, the school of life, mike boyd, vsauce, practical engineering, real engineering, pursuit of wonder. happy learning

The way food gets from the field to your plate is *_NEVER_* mundane. To even so much as imagine that process is mundane is shortsighted and ignorant. Son, you literally *_OWE_* your life to farmers. You likely wouldn't have even been born, nor your parents, without farmers. And even if you had been born, your life would be significantly shorter without farmers. Because you would have to do it all yourself, and it is hard work, real hard work. The work is so hard, doing everything yourself, that it takes a massive toll on the body, significantly shortening a lifespan.

@@danielduncan6806 bahaha you're triggered!!! I dont even think you know the definition of mundane!! Anything can be mundane to one person and not to another. Quint is one of the most thoughtful and best youtubers and a person that enjoys ANYTHING technical and to do with learning.

Dustin "I bet you're pretty good with a 22" the farmer looks down and smiles knowing indeed he is good

[@fernandograu6677]

The great point at 4:43 - "moving from knowledge to understanding", that is, the difference between knowing something and actually understanding it fully. Maybe my fav video on this amazing channel!

[@ashmitchauhan6502]

Everyone is making a joke about nut but no one is talking about how happy and proud the farmer was. It was so wholesome

[@imdabeast100]

I wanna get to the level that farmer is. He’s so proud of what he’s doing and happy to share it with people

[@someotherdude]

@@imdabeast100 Ashmit said no one is talking about that, yet you are. Are you implying Ashmit is a liar?

RIP Image quality when those leaves started going.

Not high enough bit rate to encode all that movement

The slow motion footage helped reduce the amount of motion and the codec kept up a bit better :-)

OMG, the resemblance between Destin and his Dad is incredible

The other farmer kinda looks like Bill Gates too

Who would’ve thought genetics were genetic.

[@TexDrinkwater]

And his dad looks like Benny Hill. 🤣

[@thomasrogers8239]

The resemblance gets stronger year after year that I keep following this channel.

[@XAngelxofMercyX]

First of all, awesome video! Second of all, PHENOMENAL cinematography!! I haven't been very involved in it since high school, and I'm absolutely BLOWN AWAY by what you're able to create Destin! Slow motion, timelapses, reversals, quadcopter videos, kinetic typography, all while syncing it with your choice of music. I'm blown away. Keep it up!

[@mateo130]

These videos are just so inspiring and intimate. You teach something while you introduce people like Frank who does farming simply because he loves it.

[@cheaterman49]

16:20 Oh man, this old farmer just melted my heart hahaha! He's so smart and passionate, it's fantastic! Thanks to you both!

[@benlooper5394]

When he said that I just smiled. Just a genuine man doing something he enjoys and making a loving off of it :)

16:13 This guy is incredible! “The satisfaction is when you take the pecans to people and they say “these are the best pecans I’ve ever had”, that makes it worthwhile”

[@finallyhappyglover]

Sir, thank you so much for this video! I loved your term "we are moving from knowledge to understanding." So true! I love pecans but I never considered that there were so many varieties of Pecans and them having different tastes. But that slow motion portion of the Pecan Tree shaking was phenomenal! You have a new subscriber =).

[@King4s]

It’s so warming to se you making videos with so much passion, and even more when it’s about some one else’s passion . Love it 😊

[@davidjones-vx9ju]

you can do it

[@beekeeperq3224]

Yes

[@mfrimannm]

True I'm a bit sad :(

[@Kitteh.B]

I think the space was a bit too cramped for the phantom, and the dust and debris from the open cover (especially at such close range/with no space to put up a shield) are what prevented that, sadly

[@Lastaii]

I guess this is when Gav borrowed it for his spinning apples

[@pecanthejelly5854]

That farmer reminds me of my grandpa so much, he loved picking pecans up from his tree and making pie with them. You can really see it in his face how much joy it brings him to do something like this for others.

Look at this man! He's so happy you immediately got why he uses compressed air 13:18

[@SamGalbraith]

You also did a good job of breaking KZbin's compression - Its clearly suffering from high entropy and takes a real dive in sharpness once there's leaves and nuts flying everywhere. The Slo Mo Guys did a really cool experiment using glitter for a similar effect, once

[@davidwoods1188]

Man its so crazy to think that there is someone that is so professionally intelligent about certain specific topics like this guy has all the knowledge there probably is to know about pecans thats awesome

[@keithmussington2426]

Maybe I'm a big softy but its so beautiful watcing in slow motion as the tree yields such an impressive cloud of peacans and gracefully raises its branches, in response to the mechanical aggrevation.
