New England Rock Picking 

Those are Connecticut potatoes. A new crop comes out of the soil every spring. It is nice to see a farmer making it easier on his equipment. Too many farmers just left the rocks that ended up damaging their equipment. When building my house, my place was so bad that I had to strip off the top 2 feet and screen off everything bigger than 3". I lost a third of my volume. Luckily I was able to get truck loads of mushroom compost until the plant closed. I was just doing a yard, the guys doing fields have huge jobs. Farming in CT was always tough. That is why much of it was abandoned in the early 1800s because people went west for much better land. Of the area farms that were working 40 years ago, there is only about 10% of them still working. I hope that the working farms can keep going. Good Luck

Man that's a lot of rocks. But having the right equipment cleaned the field up nicely. Well done.

Ive lived in Conn. most of my life and see this everywhere. You can do that year after year and still come up with more.

I live in rural New England, there are alot of sustenance farmers that sell veggies in front of their property on the honor system, select what you want then leave the money in the can, seems to work just fine and the prices are better than the super market...

what size pebbles do you plant when seeding to harvest the rocks?

Now looked like a few years work for me and mine and a few hours for yall Good job!

We use our rock rake for landscaping on our farm. Our concrete guy's mouth dropped when he saw how it levels the ground in one pass. It takes them hours to do a gravel pad.

I always wondered how you grow and harvest rocks.

What an absolute beast of a tractor dragging the Harrow, allis Chalmers? Thanks for sharing

yes leave the door open to get as much dirt as possible in the cab

Looks like a fine crop of rocks this winter. We've had a nice crop of those and potholes this year. Getting the rocks harvested and putting in vegetables this weekend. Who says I don't know how to rotate!? HAHAHA. :)

so simple and clever very well done thanks for sharing

Best part is that there will be a fresh crop of rocks next year!

That field must be pretty green now with all the rain we had.

I do support my local farmer. The other week I bought some food. That wasn't fish. But I do eat a lot of fish.

Very nice process have never see how that was done before. Now we know why there are so many old stone walls in New England !! Keep the info and updates growing our way :-{}

All ready for the next crop of rocks

Interesting. Thanks for showing us this.

Looks like you've got plenty of tractor for that first disk. : ) You can always tell a Chalmers man. ; ) We've got 3.

I ALWAYS leave my door open so I can haul more dust! 👍

this is old tech.There is new machine to picking up stones working like rotovator and the store the stones ın their own

I'd like to do that... How do I get started...? Gordon

yup those machinces sure work hard. And yup those machines are expensive.

Believe me . Your next generation is going to enjoy farming over there. You are preparing for them.... 👍

Where do you get the rock seeds for next years crop of rocks. L .O .L .😎😎

adoro ver esses vídeos lembro das minhas fazendas no Paraná

whats the best way to cook rock is year?

Use a open toothed scoop to sift dirt then fill it so full and toss all the dirt away

These rocks are gently picked and then returned to nature , in a conservation effort.

I wish a small version of these tools was available to get the rocks out of my vegetable garden.

i am farmer from punjab india farming good work dont durty work i am tuch every day natural

whats the point of the slotted bucket if you dont shake the dirt out?

Picking rocks by hand is very hard work but provides you a clean pile of stone you can use to make concrete (the small ones) or beautiful rustic walls (the big ones).

La idea es desincorporar las piedra o rocas del suelo cultivable, esta practica mantiene los equipos de trabajo en mejores condiciones evitando el desgaste innecesario de los mismos manteniendo un suelo de cultivo manejable con menos obstáculos (rocas o piedras).- felicito a todo productor que practique este método de trabajo en su terrenos de cultivo, las piedras o rocas sirven para rellenar huecos o empedrar caminos fangosos haciendo una cama de superficie dura que se puede ir tapando con grava mas finas mejorando las vías de abscesos donde están los cultivos -.-

Got most of the dust in the truck cab, should get the rest on the next load!

awesome vid

Should really close the truck door, and windows, on this job.

They're best served raw with a pinch of salt.

The Ford had a Detroit in it.

So that's why I never find arrowheads in those fields.

I would of shut the door on the dump truck and rolled up the window. Were spoiled here in central Illinois with our black dirt. What was on that land before you harvested the rocks?

door open in the truck, sloppy workers

Very useful Tecnology

Gotta love rocks, eh?

Why throw away all that topsoil?

No Trespassing is the only thanks I get for supporting my local farmers.

I'm pretty sure there's more rocks than actual soil here in NH...

La tecnología usada puede ser vieja o nueva, de igual manera funciona, lo importante es desincorporar las piedra o rocas del suelo cultivable -.-

Way to dust out the cab of that truck! 👍

Вся пыль в кабину, ура!

Parabéns

he takes a lot of soil as well , ..do that for a few years and you have no farm left !

Nice

Get'er done...looks like the city folk showed up in the comments.

Might want to see how the Canadians do it. They know how to pulverize the rocks and keep trace elements in the soil.

O motorista do caminhão é "esperto" deixou a porta aberta para entrar poeira e ele se emporcalhar todo.

Put the side panels back on the 7580 and show it some respect

Breathing that dust all day must be Greta for your lungs. No respirator?

Super danke

Rocks are being sent to the rehab.

Subsolador bom de mais

another awesome vid!! doesn't new England jist GROW!!! ROCKS..ABOUT THE SEEDS....HAOW DO YOU KNOW THAT NONE OF YERS ARE GMO??

Камнедробилка классная

you all know there is another way to pick rock? bend over and throw them on a loader scoop and its good exercise also i have picked hundred of tons by hand. south dakota has rocks also and we are careful about hauling our top soil off in trucks.

I PICKED UP ROCKS FOR MANY YEARS AND DESTROYED MY BACK . TOO BAD I DIDNT HAVE THIS GADGET

Gollum: Oh yes we could. Spoilin' nice fish. Give it to us raw and w-r-r-riggling; you keep nasty chips.

Dirty 30's video ??

wow that is terrible soil. in fact it is barely even dirt.

Can't you just use a potato harvester? I worked on one as a young man and they lifted tons of rocks with the potatoes, stupid farmers just let them go back on the land, but I did get myself some nice Roman pottery pieces I managed to sell to a local antique shop.

todo el polvo dentro del camion

omg zetor

Way too much soil wastage

My mobile cleaned twice due to dust

Сразу видно что не Европа))

close the door on the cab of the truck while you're loading dirt in the back of it all that does going to be all inside the cab of that truck what a mess you are going to make

Dust that driver... Old stuff

Shut up and take my money! ... wait i mean show me more!

How does someone, support their local farmer. You can't buy anything from them, because it's illegal. The stuff at the shops that does support farmers, cost a fortune. So if i did support the local farmer, i'd need someone to support me, to support them. So just wondering, how does someone support their local farmer.

I'm gonna come in here with the obligatory "no dig", amateur farmer's opinion lol

🚜🌾🌿🏃👍🎃
