How Does America Produce 3,7 Million Pounds Of Sweet Potatoes - American Farming 

Thank you harvest workers in the United States, I was raised by you.

Thank you to the ranchers and workers harvesting sweet potatoes and sweet corn

Thank you all the farmers and all the harvesters, specially the manual labors. God bless you all.

All processing and unique machines, and the maintainers etc etc are soooooooooo much outstanding, marvellous and spectaculars. I JUST LOVE THIS ALL AND ALSO HOW MUCH TECNIQUES ARE THERE WITH INCREDIBLE HANDLERS. BLESS YOU ALL.

I like the manual way of harvesting sweet potatoes rather than machines, I used to grow sweet potatoes.

I’d happily pay more for my produce if I knew those working this hard all day got the extra but that is never gonna happen…

I have never seen people harvest sweet potatoes by machine before, thanks for your video

I wonder why I love picking sweet corn and sweet potatoes by hand

*My grandma used to boil sweet potatoes for us, and there's a huge sweet potato farm nearby.* 🍠🏡

The workers harvesting sweet potatoes, they are amazing

I have never seen a sweet potato harvester like this, amazing

Boiled sweet potato with sugar, it's my favorite food when I was a kid

My grandmother boiled sweet potatoes for us to eat at her house, the sweet potato farm nearby is very large.

I wish I had a sweet potato farm like this, it would be great

Thank you for the sweet potato video, a lot of information about agriculture I learned from you, Tony.

Couldn’t help but laugh at how the guy pronounced “Arkansas.” 😂😂😂😂

Perfect video

Machine harvesting sweet potatoes, I love this

Awesome Tony, I never knew how sweet potatoes are harvested.

Sweet potatoes and sweet corn are two vegetables that my family regularly buys

Вечная слава тем кто работает на земле 🌱........лис ps крепко жму ваши натруженные руки 🤝

Arkansas is NOT pronounced like Kansas, with an Ar sound in front of it. Rather, Arkansas is pronounced as Ar-kuhn-sah. kuhn uses the short form of U, & SAS is pronounced the same as the word SAW,, which has the short sound of ah, like the first part of the word AWESOME.

I used to be a sweet potato grower and I collected 3 tons per crop

Nice working i like sweat potatos😋

I love making cakes with sweet potatoes, it's amazing.

We need to ensure the rights of these sweet potato harvesters and other farm workers.

My house is near a sweet potato farm, so I got to see firsthand how they harvest them

Harvesting sweet potatoes by machine is much faster than harvesting by workers

Hundreds of tons of hand-harvested sweet potatoes, crazy

Cool to see old school buses revamped for another use instead of destroyed as scrap ( mind you , now a days they seem to be cool as little houses which is great too )

Excellent video.

American here. Really like your videos. Note: Arkansas is pronounced AR KAN SAW.

I also grow a few beds of sweet potatoes at home, but the tubers are not very big

Does anyone know where the largest sweet potato farm is?

When I was young, I used to go to my uncle's house to eat baked sweet potatoes

As someone who lives in Idaho, I prefer potatoes to sweet potatoes

I also love sweet potatoes, I eat them often

The sweet potato harvester even had to run with baskets of potatoes on his shoulders

The majority are Latinos 💪 thank you Latinos for your hard working.

Tony bro I love agriculture. I want to go America. Please help me.

Dozens of workers working in sweet potato fields, so hard

I've never seen how one harvests sweet potatoes on a large farm like this before

I'll also pick up some sweet potato samples next year, hope all goes well

I eat sweet potatoes every day, I love them

I really want to go to the sweet potato farm and enjoy the sweet potatoes on the spot

Are sweet potatoes the main ingredient for flour production?

In my place, Florida, there are a lot of yams that are used as fodder

What are most sweet potatoes made into? Flour or dried sweet potato

As someone from Texas, my sweet potatoes are just for cattle.

Thanks for the info. Didnt know we had so many sweet potatoes in NC

It would be great if we could grow sweet potatoes in our own garden and harvest them ourselves.

I can eat sweet potatoes and sweet corn everyday without getting bored

Hi. Love your films again. (the name of the State of Arkansas is pronounced "Arh-Ken-Saw" not "Ar-Kansas")

There are many sweet potato cake recipes that my mother knows.

Damn I've been saying Arkansas all wrong my entire life 🤣

hi Sir iam Bobby, Good videos Kept up

I also planted a few poles of sweet potatoes to bring to the market to sell

Las personas trabaján duro para vender Los productos Los çiudadanos Norte americanos.

Great job amazing

The workers who harvest sweet potatoes work hard, how much are they paid a day

I live in Ohio and my whole family loves sweet potatoes.

Awesome video

Do people manually dig sweet potatoes or use machines?

I think that should be 3.7 Million Tons, but not Pounds. 3.7 Million pounds = 18500 Tons

As far as I know, China is the place with the most sweet potatoes.

Why are some regions mechanized and some manually harvested?

3.7 million pounds per year in the US... 350 million people in the US. It's almost impossible to not grow a pound of sweet potatoes, so this number seems really low.

people are complaining how expensive is eat healthy food so there we have sweetpotatoes and onions and norm potatoes make own gravy make it light brown from onions and there are very healthy food and other you have to add some protein tuna or chicken

Nice​ video

Back breaking work. Definitely not payed enough.

I'm in NC but I've never been to these sweet potato farms.

Why aren't sweet potatoes machine-harvested like potatoes in Idaho?

I want to see how people grow sweet potatoes until they are harvested

I don't like sweet potatoes very much but my mother used to make cakes from them.

My family were migrant farm workers in the 1930s and 1940s. Picking cotton was horribly hard work. A lot of the little kids had small cotton sacks. Everyone in the family worked. Here in North Texas, I observed a farm along a road I traveled almost daily. One year the government clamped down on Mexican illegal migrants. That year the farmer had planted several different types of melons. The melons rotted in the fields, he couldn't get any Mexicans.. White Americans won't do farm work. Experiments have been done trying to get welfare recipients to work on farms. I believe it was green onions where Mexicans harvesting them were making $400 to $500 a week. A good factory job at the time paid $200 to $300 a week. We had a farm in Arkansas. One year I raised a sweet potato that weighed a little over 14 pounds. One of the soybean farms appears to be using no-till farming. That means the field is not plowed after or before planting. Several restorative crops are planted too heal the land. Then the soybeans are planted. This saves the farmer many thousands of dollars in fuel costs and equipment usage. When my Mother was a girl, schools closed during planting and harvesting, so the children could work. When I was in school, school didn't close but farm kids were excused absences. There are different varieties of sweet potatoes. Some are better for baking and eating, others make better pies and cooked food. I noticed one farm where a red sweet potato was being harvested. These have the best flavor and are good for all usage.

If we don't have sweet potatoes, I'll eat sweet corn

I love eating sweet potatoes, I wish I had a few poles of sweet potatoes to harvest my own sweet potatoes

People are asking why some sweet potato farms use hand labor and others harvesting machines. Harvesting machines can cost near $250, 000 dollars and more. That's a quarter million dollars. Only bigger farms or farm conglomerates can afford these machines. They are all computerized and maintaining them requires a technician with computer systems training. I have a friend who was a lawn mower mechanic. No, not the push mower type but the big ones like you see on golf courses, and other large commercial lawns. They are computerized and take a scan tool the same as used on your car. Someone lamented about the low pay. Some of it is, but in harvesting the more you harvest, the more money you are paid. When this video was produced the illustrated pay was good money. When I was in high school, I worked in the hay fields in East Texas. At 15, I made .50 cents an hour, the same as the other men.

Do you know where is the largest sweet potato farm in the world, Tony?

It takes so much skill and expertise to do such. Must require a different type of soil and climate than white or red potatoes. You may have my portion of sweet potatoes.

My wife often buys sweet potatoes for the kids in the cafeteria

Have you ever eaten sweet potato cake?

I live next to a sweet potato farm, I also buy sweet potatoes here

Where I live, they only harvest sweet potatoes by hand, not using a machine

You are still spreading fake information, 3,7 Million Pounds is 1678 Ton, LOL. So they have only 2 farms doing sweet potatoes!!! the US in its entire history HAS NEVER EVER produced more than 1.4 million ton in a year of sweet potato and arent even in the top 10 producing countries
