ok so 1966, 9 yrs old, local school shut down for 3 weeks to help harvest the Maine potato crop, pick the potato's into a basket, empty basket into a wooden barrel, place your numbered ticket onto wooden barrel, fill as many barrels as possible (sunrise to sunset) for 3 weeks. .35 cents per barrel, could only fill 10-15 barrels a day. Bought my first big boy bike that year. Circa 1969-70, no more child labor allowed to harvest the potato crop.

Worked in the Idaho potato harvest from 3rd grade through freshman year in college. Started as a picker then worked on the scraper tractor. In high school drove truck and college 18 wheeler. Miss the smell and taste of that dirt! It’s been 32 years since I’ve last been there after moving away. Every early October I still get that feeling. Always get a sense of pride when I walk into 5 guys and tell the kids “hey I know that farm!” When I see the names on the board identifying the source of their spuds. Thanks for sharing!

As a Business Administration Graduate (1979), now tired and retired I love your video! The Potatoe grower (headaches, heartaches, worries, cost of doing business), and will the product be good for the buyer. Very difficult, I would imagine and some restless nights for sure. Nevertheless, the EXCELLENT owner will always (as the Good Book Says) have an eye on the least of the brethren, the laborers. Pay them not the least but the most you can. The Lord is watching you and will bless you. Fly the American Flag proudly, my father, Raul Sr. (US Army Sargent) fought in COLD combat as a forward observer in Korea, he was a proud American. Why not serve a hot meal to the families who work for you and maybe give them a small flag from the country that they come from.

I’ve been watching family farms for years, so cool seeing potatoes for a change! You’ll laugh, we planted our first potato crop here in PA(planted them in straw) they did pretty well for never planting them. Our storage potatoes are white & red. We ate our russets. I didn’t think they stored well. That is I guess, unless you have a professional set up in the potato capital of the country! Very interesting! We subscribed & will be following along. Ppl have no idea how important our farmers are(not corporate CCP owned farms!) Food security is national security & if you know you’re history, potatoes saved lives during famines!

I couldn’t agree more farmers are the backbone of society. That’s cool that you planted some potatoes. Our farm has been growing potatoes for 70 years. One of the reasons I decided to start this channel was because I could not find many farmers in the west and definitely no potato farmers. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

This brings back memories from 50 years ago when I drove truck for Spada Bro. in Saint Paul Oregon on sandy river delta soil. It was. a smaller farm of only about 300 acres of potatoes. Then we only had the 4 row harvester dumping into the trucks. Then we had some G.I. military 6 x 6 trucks with the same bed on them like you have. It was very interesting driving those old smokers in the field and taking them to the processing bldg. What a memory. Thanks.

2800 acre’s and you fill 8 of these buildings? Holy cow! Very informative video on how spuds are harvested. I’m west of you in Boise. I have a friend who custom farms potatoes in the Marsing area. A couple yrs back I went out after the harvest to pick up some spuds to bake. These spuds were the size of NFL footballs! I tried baking one for three hours and gave up. Turns out these huge spuds were going to Simplots for processing in Caldwell them to McDonald’s for those famous French fries! Idaho is famous for its potatoes because of the volcanic soil with all the minerals. One of my favorite meals on a Saturday watching college football is to bake some spuds like the size here on your farm. Buy some Wendy’s Chili and dump the chili on the baked potato. Perfect meal, especially watching Saturday football. Loved the video on how the machine picked up the spuds. Will this machine pick up sugar beets as well? Thank you for feeding the world!
@RockyMountainFarmer
@RockyMountainFarmer 7 месяцев назад
I’m glad you liked the video. just to clarify our farm is 2800 acres but we only grew 1250 acres of potatoes and we are filling nine cellars. This is not the equipment for sugar beet harvest but we don’t grow sugar beets, because we are too far away from the plant.

By that time, we had the big tent erected, the three sheep picked out. All that replaced by the big red machine.

3 1/2 minutes to fill a truck, with a 16 row setup it takes the Wada boys 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. A second windrower wouldn't help too much. Didn't know you could start the crossover separately on the windrower, helps the combine get in place an not miss any. When I farmed 5 trucks could keep up to our 2 row windrower and 2 row harvester easy.
@RockyMountainFarmer
@RockyMountainFarmer 7 месяцев назад
Yeah we are only digging 10 rows so if we got another crossover it would be faster it also depends on the field. In our current field, it only takes us 2 1/2 minutes.

Great footage my man. I worked for larsen farms in Hamer digging spuds in high school. I miss the smell of it. I have very fond memories of it.

You brought back some memories of sorting spuds in the magic Valley near burley. Imagine the fun of running the digger before auto steer

My question is, why you aren,t pick up 16 rows with the harvester? Isn't it an option to put some rows from left and right? Such an interesting video. I love it!

We could run another windrower, but currently our seller cannot keep up so if that becomes a problem, we can add another windrower

Do y’all allow the less fortunate to come in and glean your field?? That would be awesome folks and greatly helpful Rev. Paul,Eustis Florida.
@RockyMountainFarmer
@RockyMountainFarmer 7 месяцев назад
Yes, people can come glean as much as they want. We try to waste as little as possible and we try to give away a bunch of potatoes after harvest as well.

The Bible guidelines are no longer needed to leave some in the fields for the poor. That required a little work by the poor. Now the gov just gives it all away free. No work required. No husband required. Just vote democrat.

That is an absolutely amazing machine. We had a 1 row Port 3pl harvester when I was a teenager, and all picked up into a bucket, then into a 3 bushel bag. There was a lot of manual handling.
@RockyMountainFarmer
@RockyMountainFarmer 7 месяцев назад
Yeah, that would be a lot of work. I know my grandpa tells the stories of when he used to do it, and they sacked it all by hand, and stacked in the cellar by hand.

You soil looks so beautiful and flat for sure as myself grew up on a Iowa grain farm .I surely would think you find it hard at times and have to consent monitor your piles and the plants thru their growth stages,insects etc,and also so to keep those big taters from spoiling and getting hot after awhile,esp down deep .You must really pump the air thru them and keep a watch on the inside of those big tater building plies .Ya ,I bet.Your doin a great job guys at such a mass scale .I see your nice equipment also is needed just to keep pace with your high production rates..surely not much room or time for breakdowns and delays for sure,,again your soil is just amazing for this tater type of growth production
@RockyMountainFarmer
@RockyMountainFarmer Месяц назад
Yeah, the soil here is ideal for growing potatoes. It has a lot of volcanic ash in it. It does take a lot of work to keep the potatoes in good shape in storage. We check them weekly until they get taken out so if there is a problem, we catch it early.

Spudnik makes some interesting equipment. I've hauled out of their Blackfoot, ID plant a couple of times, once with one of the bins to the MO bootheel (offloaded with two wreckers lol) and once with the third big sorter (probably similar to where they were getting clods and vines out) they had built, going out west of Madison, WI. I looked at the diggers and understood what happens throughout the machine but these shots were nice to see in action. Well done!
