Potato Harvest in North Dakota Aerial Video (long version)

[@rcaive0875]

On this chilly winter's night, I'm inside enjoying a scrumptious hot buttered baked potato. Thank you, potato farmers of America!

[@sherryphelps4391]

Hats off to the hard-working farmers and machine operators for providing us with the essentials of comfortable living.

[@AussieMusicRocks]

Awesome video. Great filming, great music and above all great content. God bless the Farmers of this world.

[@FISHH00KS]

And may spend their millions of dollars gained from US subsidies and credits and crop insurance claims and guaranteed pricing and on and on and on on $150,000 tractors and pay their workers nothing and illegal alien workers less than nothing

[@tctarheelfarmin358]

@@FISHH00KS hi I read articles online and look at statistics and know nothing. To the family farmer small to mid size, they are the feeders of the world. It's the massive industrial farms that do that. Dont buy stuff from Walmart

[@yuriisyvko768]

Cool job.Greetings from tractor driver from Moscow Russia.

[@TheBurbankBlues]

Thanks Yurii for watching and your comment. Do you have video or photos of your farming work that I can share on my channel?

[@handmaderestor]

*So calming seeing you restore items so masterfully*

[@dmsmith1980]

Thanks for the video, its nice to see the machines I build in action and performing well for our farmers.

[@marybrown2327]

God bless Farmers. I always wondered how they harvested potatoes since they grow underground! Very informative!

[@DaveSteen]

Great video, it is interesting to see the harvesters. I visit a SE ND potato farm down the road from my daughter, great potatoes

[@cademorris3304]

You guys have some clean digging up there beautiful dirt.

[@fa300zxtt]

Thank you. The USA is blessed with it's earth and the farmers who take care of it. We are lucky to have them. P.S. Thank you "You Tube" for trying to educate us as how really lucky we are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mr7wi]

It always amazes me how much food even the smallest plot of land can produce. Agriculture production on this level is staggering.

[@coreywright6774]

THANKS OK

[@wohliq1]

thats only with root crops tho :D u get much less with grain i.e

[@jimb9369]

Brings back wonderful memories of my childhood on the Farm. Thank you for the Vid. Nice ariel work.

[@tri5ford]

Great video. Oh, the memories. This looks like ideal harvest conditions. I remember harvesting and bringing more dirt into town to the warehouse than potatoes. The gals in the warehouse were really busy.

[@cparis6911]

Idaho here... very familiar. Nice video, well shot and great music.

[@garlicscape6732]

Please bring g back the potato harvest long version with the original song, you could have both on her, but please put that old one back on, I listen to it and just relaxed, I miss it! Please let me know when you add it back thanks

[@davidopel5752]

Awesome video. Definitely lots easier than doing it by hand as we did it. But at least we didn't have that big of a field. Many thanks to the farmer who without them the world would starve.

[@seunheinlein336]

This video is fantastic to watch, takes me back to the sixties when we also planted potatoes, but had a single row machine, technology did not stand still and it all depends about the hectares of potatoes planted, very good video.

[@pauldow1648]

Dad raised and sold Sacks of potatoes to help pay for college during the depression. Things were tough. He joined the navy in 38. I love a good plain old potato.

[@oggyren2200]

very nice combination of music and video that I like to see ,outstanding

[@julianadams5753]

And, I might add: Excellent video--and refreshingly tasteful and appropriate music. Thanks!

[@Economist96]

Excellent video professionally done with exquisite music enhancing the viewing experience!

[@TheBurbankBlues]

Thank you!

[@sethb9545]

I never new North Dakota grew so much food until I started watching canola harvesting then that lead me to sunflowers and barley now potato's . Always new they had beef also now they are the lead crude oil produces in the USA great job ND I like your videos and learning more about your state best regards from Iowa .

[@josephlewis693]

Cool little video, thanks!

[@davestark5560]

Amazing video. I have a new appreciation for your hard work, keeping America fed. Keep the videos coming. Thank you.

[@jacobjandorresteijn4735]

Keeping America fat...

[@oneshotme]

Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up

[@bartsch6929]

Fantastic video! Well done.

[@erpelteler]

That, my friend, is a very nice video of a beautiful operation there!

[@garlicscape6732]

I like the new one too!!! I just want both Potato Please 🥔

[@redalertcrafts2307]

Thats cool how the first pass of the harvester just wind rowed the taters then the next pass was loaded in the trucks. I've always wondered how they keep the trucks from running over the crops.

[@albertfrederick9647]

I always have loved potatoes and i get them from the greatest potato growing area in the world, Pemberton, B. C.

[@TheBurbankBlues]

I’m sure they are great there too. Have you ever tasted a red river valley potato?

[@perrinaus9718]

YOU HAVE TO LOVE NORTH DAKOTA, AS WE ALL DO, GREAT JOB

[@treeman8881]

That's crazy the amount of potatoes it is picking it would be nice to see them unloading the trucks

[@robertrockwell7581]

thank you too all our farmers for what you do. it's not a easy job or life with all the worries. beautiful fields love too live there.

[@neckarsulme]

Thank you farmers....I love potatoes

[@darrenstinson]

The white tanks hold water. The water is misted onto the spuds as they are conveyed to help prevent them from being skinned while bumping against each other.

[@gordonmccoy1253]

Very nice! Thank you! Gordon

[@sthpac69]

This is awesome, i enjoyed it very much and i will show this to my grandchildren.

[@douglasreed9263]

Looks like weather was perfect,. I bet to much moisture makes that nearly impossible.

[@TheBurbankBlues]

Yes last year was one of those years. Some farmers did not get any spuds out of the ground.

[@Roc-Righteous]

Thank you all you farmers out there.

[@jaimesantiago9352]

Thanks for the beautiful video! Love those potatoes! I ate many in the Army. Do you sell many of those to the Military? I hope so! Again, thanks!

[@diegopalomino1200]

Thanks for posting this amazing video.

[@Bizob2010]

What's the tank on top of the 1st tool for?

Cinematography get top marks. Especially good transitions between 'shots.'

[@blackdog2994]

With this much food being produced, america could feed the world!

[@mtri56]

I see there's one lifter with an arm that puts the potatoes directly into the trucks. There's also another lifter that doesn't have the arm, and I saw it as putting the potatoes directly into a valley between the rows of unharvested potatoes. My question is, how do those potatoes get picked up?

[@TheBurbankBlues]

mtri56 the lifter without the arm is a wind-rower. When the potato lifter digs the rows on either side of the potatoes that have been put on the ground, they get picked up and conveyed into the truck. Thanks for watching.

[@mtri56]

theburbankblues Thank you! I've grown up around the areas beat harvest but didn't know anything about the areas (ND, MN) potato harvest!

[@garlandremingtoniii4679]

mtri56 You didn't see the back 2 arms and the 3 on each side arm scoops?

[@Hailbrutulster]

excellent beautiful to watch, worked on 1700 acres spud harvest. no drones that time. nice machines also any jobs? ?

[@raincoast2396]

Excellent video production. How is the harvest yield measured? By weight or other means? eg: bushels

[@prezzle208]

they measure potatoes by sacks which is similar to bushels but it's 100 pounds of potatoes. then they separate them into counts so 60 count 70 count etc.. For this they take 100 pounds of potatoes that equal that certain amount of potatoes. So 70 potatoes that equal 100 pounds.

[@daddio7249]

Almost right, I ran a Hagen count pack machine. It is how many potatoes in a 50 lb box.

[@tlayland20]

Did you guys have issues with that digger throwing spuds over the vine chain? We have that exact same digger except it isn't offset but we lost 15 to 20 sacks an acre due to the digger throwing them over.

[@gordonmccoy4537]

Great Vid...! Thanks for posting and sharing.... Very well-done...! Gordon

[@onionfriend9799]

Were the potato vibes sprayed with a desiccant to kill them like this?

[@runner4life1984]

The song at the beginning is "Hey Jude" by The Beatles.

[@abdiazizyarow4655]

This is a wonderful where can I get this machine I liked thank you much.

[@beto46133]

Lockwood equipment...... or spudnick....one from north dakota and spudnick from idaho

[@charlesnulph9032]

Awesome!!!!😎 I miss Farming.

[@YouTubeExplore777]

Charles Nulph me too

[@Maloy7800]

If you love it so much, why did you uninstall your farm simulator?

[@carlossierrahn]

Hola amigos no hay un trabajo para mí en la granja soy de Honduras y me gusta mucho el campo.

[@morrisrichard50]

What part of North Dakota? I worked on a potato in Grafton ND back in the late 1980,s.

[@TheBurbankBlues]

Richard Morris this video was shot near grand forks. Thanks for watching!

[@fourdragonv2]

Thanks for sharing.

[@melvinpeachey6963]

I'd like to know how much that semi weight was loaded

[@redyumi6441]

What music is that starting at 2:51

[@notevenawe]

Singing with you from home of the RoadTrain Western Australia...''Mr Bojangles''...

[@GerberdingFamily217]

??????? Do they waste the first swipe cause the loading trailer would ruin that swipe anyways ?

[@TheBurbankBlues]

It’s not wasted, it’s picked up by the windrower machine and put between the rows of the next “swath”. The harvester then picks them up along with the other rows. This allows them to load twice as many rows into the truck’s with each pass.

[@mykecollins3255]

I have a question.. That first tractor harvested the potatoes and dumped them on the ground. The other tractor was doing the same thing except it was loading the truck...why the first tractor when the other one is doing the same thing plus loading the truck. Thank for sharing. Take care.

[@TheBurbankBlues]

myke collins it allows the second tractor to load twice as many potatoes. This fills the trucks faster.

[@mykecollins3255]

theburbankblues I guess that makes sense. Thank you for the reply. Take care.

[@MikeD-lo9yb]

OK, I figured it was just while they 'opened' the paddock to make room for the truck to drive beside the tractor

[@playwme3]

First tractor was just making a path for the semi trucks. That’s why he started in the middle of the field.

[@daddio7249]

OK, all the others are right but the windrower gets potatoes out of ground without needing a side elevator and boom so it is cheaper to buy and run and makes the harvester and trucks more efficient.

[@wasyapaparyga2030]

Great video shot

[@billnboo4u]

love to watch.cant wait for farming simulator 17 should be Awesome. I watch the real deal then play it on my PC

[@alixwhite8777]

[@manpreetpal2718]

[@Maloy7800]

How many acres per day can you do with this equipment?

[@rizkipradana1572]

Lays lore brings me here

[@barnyardaerials]

Beauty !! What resolution was this shot in ?

[@Cany0many]

Awesome vedio.

[@Rikvdham]

You only use the windrower to make room for the trucks or am i wrong?

[@TheBurbankBlues]

Rik Ham it allows the trucks to be loaded faster because twice as many potatoes being lifted.

[@Rikvdham]

theburbankblues ahh, if you had an extra lifter instead off a windrower you would need more trucks am i right?

[@chuckmid]

Rik Ham. For potatoes like Russets that are used for French fries, the windrower will be used all of the time. For table stock potatoes like Reds that have to be handled like a baby so they look nice in the grocery store, the windrower is only used to open up the field to make room for the trucks.

[@Drew-in-NoDak]

Where is this I am near minto North Dakota By the way have you herd of bills parts and sales out of Voss north dakota

[@julianadams5753]

The next time I have a baked potato in my favorite restaurant here in far away South Carolina, I just might be inclined to think, "Now, if that potato could talk...."

[@potatofarmer100]

also you guys are lucky because up here in Maine were we dig we have leag and you can break stuff very easily

[@guyski666]

Kinda mesmerizing to watch

[@donh6629]

I thought that potatoes grew on threes like the spaghetti does in Italy.

[@jg-bordfronco2925]

how long does it take to harvest all them taters?

[@РозаВасильева-й8т]
