I live in Georgia, and I absolutely love peanuts but had no idea how they were grown or harvested. So thank you for this video. Its nice to see where our food comes from and how much work goes into it, so again thank you for allowing me to put food on my table.

I am so mesmerized by the machines you operate I have always wanted to just ride in one since I was a kid - I’m almost 70 years old and grew up in San Diego, CA so no opportunity to do so. I truly admire your skills and persona towards farming. God bless your sweet family and speedy recovery.

Should have gotten some video of them bailing the hay! What do they do with the bailed peanut hay?

[@FieldRows]

Oh don’t worry it’s coming. Used for cow feed

[@shawnennis265]

I remember getting in the peanut trailer when they dump watching for snake

[@marbleman52]

Shawn Ennis....My dad grew cotton, soybeans and I think corn way, way back in the 50's in Arkansas near a small farm town named Osceola. I remember one time when it was cotton picking time . The cotton would be dumped into these old, rickety, wooden sided cotton trailers and then taken to the nearby cotton gin just a few miles away. I asked Dad if I could ride in the trailer to the gin. He said no. On the way back to the fields from the gin, the trailer somehow got loose and crashed into the ditch. I never asked again...!!!

[@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9]

I didn't realize how good the hay was after you picked up the peanuts. We make just about anything here in Tennessee like wheat, oats and peas, soybean millet but didn't know about the peanut hay. I looked it up I bet you do pretty good on that as a crop in itself.

[@justinpope2382]

Tifton Ga got 2.5 inches today and yesterday

[@DB_Cooper727]

We got 2.20 inches north of Oglethorpe, that put a hold on things for a while

[@byronglover7998]

Always great video content from Field Rows channel. Now, answer me a question if you would. Why,on the newer model peanut pickers, are the tire tread reverse from the normal direction of the rear tires on the tractor? Older models had ribbed tires not cleated. But it might fall into the same category of why do you drive on a parkway and park in a driveway. IDK. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us.

[@farmcentralohio]

Tread is backwords for compaction reasons. When they are like the tractor tires the tread digs in for more pulling power, backwords they float across the ground better.

[@FieldRows]

Good eye I have no idea? Amadas … why is this ?

[@farmcentralohio]

@@FieldRows Compaction :)

[@lukestrawwalker]

@@FieldRows Yeah in muddy/wet conditions the reversed tread helps squeeze the soil under the tire since the outside ends of the lugs hit the ground first. Tractor tires you want the center of the chevrons to hit the ground first so they "dig in and bite" to get traction. Same reason they mount them backwards on pull type sprayers and auger carts and stuff. If you have something like a hay rake or ground driven equipment with chevron lugged tires, they'll mount those backwards too, but for a different reason-- since the ground is imparting the torque to the wheel, meaning the wheel is under load turning the equipment and might start to slide in wet spots, having the chevrons reversed keeps the tire from loading up with mud in a wet spot and gives better traction to keep the tire (and thus the machine) turning. Used to see guys in the old days have the tires turned backwards on cotton pickers and combines and stuff where if they got stuck in a wet spot, they'd have more traction to back out since the tires would be pointed "forward" when going in reverse... Later! OL J R :)

[@graysonpohs7614]

what do they do with your peanuts after harvested? do you know?

[@jamespetty9545]

look like they are turning out

[@SLCFarms]

Will they use the straw for feed or bedding. I’ve heard peanut hay is some of the best but wasn’t sure if it’s grown differently or if it’s the leftover straw they speak of. Love harvest season

[@bryanlamb319]

Feed. It’s cocaine for cows lol.

Y'all can't catch a break on the rain. Seems every hurricane and rain making system has come y'alls way this year. Good to see some nuts coming out of the ground though. We still got about a week or so. Take care and God Bless.

[@kendallwilliamson8193]

Just found your channel. I,m from southern Alberta, Canada and was interesting to watch how peanuts are harvested. Watching you cut the wind some to stop throwing out good peanuts made perfect sense. Your trying to get the right balance for a clean sample and save the most. I subscribed and will watch more again when I have time. How much rain can a peanut take before quality goes down? What do they do with a lower grade? Thanks

[@FieldRows]

I’d say anything more than an inch of rain is going to hinder your yield.The longer they sit the weaker the stems get and they fall off. Lower grade is used for oil most of the times.

[@kendallwilliamson8193]

@@FieldRows Okay that makes sense. Kind of like our barley if left for straight cutting rain weakens the stem and the head falls on the ground. I farmed for around 8 or 10 years and grew up on the farm and enjoyed it but I just didn,t have enough acres to make it viable. Worked on a few different farms over my years and welding shops. 7 years ago I went to the coal mine in BC and enjoy that change too. Thanks for the reply.

[@pennyhaldeman5626]

Is the dump cart what you used to call the nut buggy?

Hey Jim, I am a gamer and love farming sim. I am trying to gather interest in having the peanut harvest for the game done the right way. I am talking to modders and developers of the game and sending this video to a few of them that I know on exactly how it is done. This vid will help tremendously in demonstrating that. Farming Sim 22 will be coming out Nov. 22 nd which the graphics and software will be much much better Hopefull we will have peanut harvest and planting the "right way" in the game soon.

hey! i have an airborne peanut allergy, (if i smell peanuts i could go into anaphylactic shock) and i’m going to disney world around the 20th of october and coming back around the 25th. I was wondering how the peanut farm situation is in the south and if there are peanut fields by the interstate? Also, if peanut harvest is going on right now and won’t be going on then, I have lots of questions and just have no answers and figured peanut farmers would know a lot about the situation! (we are driving from nebraska)

[@FieldRows]

There is peanut farms near the interstate boo thing around Orlando though, I would not roll down your window near Lee area.

The biggest sign I cut out for another farm was out of a 3/16 aluminum piece that was 144" long and 72" wide, so I can go from a tiny project up to 12' x 6'. The water jet is actually 35' long and 15' wide.
