Onion Harvest near Nampa Idaho

Onion Harvest near Nampa Idaho
#harvest #farm #farmhandmike #tractor #onion #idaho
In this video I am out in an onion field near Nampa Idaho. In this field is two different tractors and onion harvesters getting the job done. First up is a John Deere 7930 Tractor pulling a Top Air TL4400XT onion harvester & a John Deere 8R 310 tractor pulling a Top Air TL4400XTR onion harvester. Also in the video is some footage of a John Deere 8520T Tractor pulling a Case IH disk and disking the field after the onions were harvested.
I had several good video opportunities while I was out here in Idaho so look for a Potato Harvest, Mint Harvest, Corn Silage & a Sod video in the near future.

I always enjoy seeing different farming of different crops. Appreciate it Mike.

[@surlyogre1476]

I'm impressed by how clean the onions are, coming out of that harvester. It does a really good job of winnowing out the trash.

[@ThunderNukes]

This is my hometown! I used to farm onions here with my grandpa and my dad! I wish I would have known I would have totally come to watch. THANK YOU MIKE.

[@keithpowell2786]

Another awesome video that you would never see on another channel, thanks, brother Don’t know much about onion farming, but it appears they had a awesome yield

[@davidchapin8297]

Thanks for this video Mike. That area is my home. I farmed in the Ontario area for many years. This brought back memories. I will be watching for the other videos from there. I have been wishing that you or Jason would be able to get out there and get a bunch of videos.

[@rogereide]

Cool video. Love seeing a variety of farming and harvesting videos like this

[@tractorchasers]

Cool to see! Love the cabover truck!

[@ericking9135]

Ive never seen a onion harvesting video this was very interesting. Thanks for making the video Mike.

[@SimonKL11]

You don't see an onion harvest video that often😉👍 the onion harvester does a clean job😁👍 Thanks for sharing👍👍

[@rockhillfarm6613]

I live very near here. Note the encroachment of new homes in the background. This area, Boise, Meridian, Nampa, is in one of the fastest population growth areas of the country. Every year fewer acres for onions, beets, potatoes, hops, etc…

[@douglassellers7528]

A tearful day? Out in one of my favorite states.

[@shawnpowell5876]

Great video Mike of the onion harvesting! It's amazing how many come off the belt into the truck. The machine does an awesome job cleaning them as well! Thanks for sharing this video with us along with your PRICELESS time and effort! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.

[@JimBirch-ps2qx]

Absolutely cool. Love onions too.

[@jrstrande4890]

Great video Mike, this is the first time I’ve seen onions being harvested 👍 JP from Lancaster Pa😁

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@jm7488]

Those onion loaders are made right here in Parma. Welcome back to Idaho

[@bobtuckosh9870]

Pretty cool video of that kind of harvest

[@sandrodalazem5834]

LIKE LIKE videos great videos harvest MIKE

[@ESHETUYILMA-km2pc]

Good video ; loading system & harvesting

[@boristhebarbarian]

We don't see harvesters that wide in the Netherlands. Mostly 2 or 3 row harvesters. I have family living in onion country in Zeeland province, every harvest season the smell of onions starts as soon as I leave the highway.

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Awesome video Mike 👍👍

[@stevenblue3126]

Great video, I don't know what a good yield is for onions, but that looks like alot of onions.

[@artpemberton9072]

great job from merridian,id they have been trying to find automation like this in the Salinas valley and such for lettuce,broccoli ,cauliflower.

[@paulreis1648]

Great video Mike just think of the onion rings

[@DeafGuyChronicles.]

Makes my eyes water, just looking at onions. I hate onions when it's being prepared around me but I love them when they're already cooked/sauteed.

[@YouT-DJ]

Looks like they really yield!

[@sahibnoor8721]

wonderful

[@lol-vz8kd]

I love onions!

[@franciscosandiego3026]

I like Mike less video on KZbin from the imperial county ca 🇺🇲

[@floydreed8777]

I wish I had known you were here in Idaho I live in Caldwell. I’d love to meet you.

[@berrypainter]

What kind of irrigation allows these farmers to grow onion in the desert ?

[@ThunderNukes]

We have a lot of wells and pumps around here, but we also have irrigation ditches. I can’t say for sure but these were most likely grown with drip tape, similar to the stuff used for your backyard garden.

[@herbmichelledroogendyk5208]

Is the TopAir also topping? Seems that the onion volume may be too high for that? Only blowing the loose skin?

[@rollingcoal9500]

I live near Pine Island NY. In Orange County NY. Otherwise known as the black dirt region. Very big on onions. Should check it out mike

[@rogersteinberg2555]

Great video Mike! Could you get some shots of them unloading the onions into storage so we can see how that is done? Thanks.

[@evilroyslade2491]

Thats a lot of onions.

[@sharpshooter7127]

The Vidalia onions down here in south georgia are picked by hand so they won't get damaged

[@sidearm617]

I used to actually top onions back in the 50’s in Pleasant Valley, Iowa. We used to get paid 12 cents per bushel basket. It was hard work but it was all we had to make some spending money and money for new school clothes in the fall. The onion fields are all gone now. The old farmers died off and the lands were turned onto industrial parks.

[@ESHETUYILMA-km2pc]

It is interested farm.

[@KlaasSchotsman]

Great video Mike but according to my knowledge this is only half of the harvest works because ahead of this unit there should be a machine who cuts the stalks and swath them so the loader that you showed us in this movie can pick them clean them and load them on the trailers.

[@broncoblue83]

This is so cool! Is this the same way they harvest onions in Walla Walla Washington? Their onions are legendary!

[@aimanaaimana9507]

Какой хороший урожай лука!

[@staudtj1]

Gee, If You would have also shown a field of Potatoes and a field of Ground Beef . . . I'd be in Heaven!

[@Dave_9547]

It's interesting to see crops being harvested close to home. Was this on the Idaho side of the river or on the Oregon side which is just a little further west from Nampa?

[@John-nc4bl]

These folk dont worry about compaction while unloading on the go from the harvester into trucks. It should be the same for small graing such as wheat, unloading from the combine into trucks. The openers on the seed drills will take care of any compaction for the new seed to sprout.

[@Machines85]

I love you mike

[@WootTootZoot]

Driving through Nampa..."Hey..what stinks ?"

[@joelg8004]

Do they go end to end on the right the entire field or somehow cut lands to divide it up with a harvester like that? Also what is the implement in the front for? Just a guide to keep between the rows? Great video as always!

[@farmhandmike]

No end rows but they did apparently split the field at some point before I got there. I believe the piece on the front just bumps any onions away that may get in the way of the tractor tire.

[@generationll]

What dealer in Indiana has the 9RX 770 out?

[@get__some]

CABOVER!!!!

[@boikebeagle]

Tell us how good you are
