Ahoy! Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew. Pinto Beans! Today we are harvesting pinto beans in the Red River Valley of North Dakota. We see beans that are straight combined as well as knifed and then combined. We actually had a very rare case of both types being harvested at the same time right next to each other. What a treat!
We also get to run a local and unique tool designed to help the pinto beans not stick to the soil. We call the tool the "Rodweeder."
This was a very fun video with lots of life and farming adventures. Enjoy!

Howdy and jak se máš! (Czech for "How are you?")
We're a sugar beet farmin’ family in the Red River Valley of North Dakota! Our farm specializes in growing sugar beets, hard red spring wheat, sunflowers, corn, soybeans, and various types of dry edible beans. The legacy currently consists of my dad, my uncle, my two older brothers, and I (Beet Farmin Mitch).
I am a 6th generation family farmer recently graduating with college degrees in both Agricultural Economics and Crop and Weed Sciences. Enjoy as I showcase our operations everyday work, grow as a young farmer, be a goofball, and walk out the most important thing to me. My love for King Jesus!
My hope is that you may be entertained and spurred on to grow in your passion and knowledge for all things agriculture!

The legend in my family is that my grandfather, who was a farmer/carpenter in the Davenport Weymere area somewhere, when he built a building, he would use the horizon for a level! That part of the world is quite flat ! Nice video, thankyou! Ron By the way, that was way back in the day, cause I'm now 75 yrs old and live about 130 miles straight south of you.

I'm glad I found your channel finally someone from North Dakota to challenge the boys from Montana and the guys from Minnesota! My Mom is from Grand forks and my Dad's family is from Walhalla area but sadly my dads parents both passed away in the late 1940's when the kids were little and the farm had to be sold and the kids went to live with relatives but I still love going back to the Walhalla and Cavalier area and being around the farms. Thank you for the look into your family farm as your video's are fun and informative to watch keep up the great work!!!

My family grew pintos and great northerns in Colorado. We had a rod weeder that we used similar to the way you folks use yours.

@user-ws3he7qq1n Год назад

Love this. I was surprised to see dry beans harvesting in the upper Midwest. All the best in your life’s Journey. Please keep making videos.

@user-ws3he7qq1n Год назад

Yes, Please keep making them. I grew up on Wisconsin Dairy Farm in the 70’s and 80’s. No longer a small family operation. I miss that life. Welder now in factory.

Grew up in western Nebraska raising pintos and great northern beans...we used rod weeders all the time👍

@ajmiller7102 2 года назад

Dang, you made me hungry. Nothing like a big pot of pintos slow cooked over a wood fire with a big ole piece of ham and cornbread baked in cast iron. Enjoyed the views, the harvest, and the entire video.

@jessiegoss3712 2 года назад

We never raised pinto beans except in our garden. My Mom canned about 80 to 150 pints each year for the family. Oh man the best beans I have ate were for sure Mom's canned beans. Once when my baby sister was living in Dallas she made friends and of course they came over to eat occasionally. Of course sis had Mom's beans on the table. As they were eating the couple ask where can we purchase these beans ? We love them. Sis said well you can't purchase these beans they came out of my Mom's garden. Mom is gone now and I have missed not only her but for sure her garden fresh beans and her canned beans. I sure love beans.

@wildturkey5838 2 года назад

We ran rod weeders in the Texas Panhandle back in the 60's. We did row irrigation and would pre-water the ground, then run the rod weeder in front of the planters to kill any weeds and make a better seed bed.

@beetfarminmitch 2 года назад

Interesting! A lot of folks are familiar with rodweeders. Fun stuff to know.

@jtn-minn8105 2 года назад

Really like the smell of cutting/and harvesting dry beans its a very different/unique smell...Rod weeders have been around for a long time seen my first in the mid 70s out in Montana it was attached to the back row of chisel plow, to the shanks, they used 16-18'' sweeps on the chisel plow and only went 4-5'' deep and the rod clipped the weeds that snuck through. For long days in the field get your self a 12 volt roadpro for reheating/or cooking food they work great.

Me neither! We stayed in south central AZ (near Wilcox) one winter and pinto bean farms were numerous.

@jivanvasant 2 года назад

Refried Beans Thanks for sharing you informative video about local farming in one of the Red River Valleys in the USA. Now that I have seen the pinto beans harvested and learned how it is done, it gives pinto beans some personality. For some reason, the seem similar to Black Eyed Peas. One of our favorite meals is tacos, and for that we use Amy's Light-in-Sodium Vegetarian Organic Refried Beans Traditional Style. When added to steamed brown rice, chopped lettuce and tomatoes, they make fine tacos. Peace.

That turning tool reminds me of the old saying " necessity is the mother in invention", and Hello to future Mitch, congrads on a successful harvest.

Hi Mitch, I'm a new subscriber. Nice quality video/editing.. I grew up in the thumb of Mich. We grew many varieties of dry beans in the 70's. Navy, black turtles, cranberries, pintos, kidneys. I loved the fall harvest also. Thanks, Boe

@andyanderson4357 2 года назад

Really enjoy your videos. Great job! FYI rod weeders are used by all onion farmers. It’s used to undercut the onions and cut the roots so they can dry down for harvesting.

@beetfarminmitch 2 года назад

Interesting! Yeah lots of people have commented about the many uses for rodweeders! Very cool with onions especially!

Your videos got suggested to me. I suppose because I follow a lot of the RU-vid farmers. Keep up the good work I’ve enjoyed the videos I’ve watched and I suspect your channel will blow up.

How about a history of the farm video with your dad and uncle? Maybe an equipment tour….us that follow the RU-vid farmers love those videos.

Dry land farmers in eastern Washington have been using rod weeders for a hundred years for weed control in stubble fields after harvest. They farm fallow land every other year out there

@samspade4634 2 года назад

I'm just curious, what us the average bushels per acre for pinto beans in a normal year? Sorry if I missed it. Do they compare to soybean yields? Thanks for sharing.

@thomashuggart5998 2 года назад

60 pounds a bushel but they usually go by pounds per acre. Range from around 1600-2400 pounds an acre normal year bumper crops can be high as 3000

I love pinto beans and my coworkers faces that night...my mom use to can beets I loved them..haven't had beets in years but I finally got my wife cooking them and I had to teach her how to make good cornbread..all is good...great vid⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜👍

@edeancozzens3833 2 года назад

I grew up on an irrigated farm near Greeley, Colorado where we grew pinto beans and sugar beets too. I used to judge beans in FFA. What kind if church do you attend and where did you go to college? I went to Colorado State University in Fort Collins.

@beetfarminmitch 2 года назад

I’m very surprised at the number of dry bean growers in Colorado! Thank you for commenting on that. I went to NDSU in Fargo, ND and majored in Agricultural Economics and minored in Crop and Weed Sciences. I was a part of Chi Alpha Campus Ministries (Christian group) during my time at NDSU. I moved back home to farm about a year ago and I am an active part of a church in my hometown. It’s a Christian church that is an AFLC denomination.

@A1steeke Год назад

Mitch, what seems to do the best job; straight cutting or knifing them and using a pickup head?

@rocksandoil2241 2 года назад

Interesting. SW Colorado pintos last I knew were cut mature green, windrowed and then dried in shock and combined with a pick up reel.

@larrybe2900 2 года назад

Might be required for end use.

@angus4202 2 года назад

that is the widest pickup head i think i have ever seen

Are split beans separated out and sold at the elevator to canners for refried beans, or are they not worth the trouble? Just subscribed.

That would be a good job for you to follow the combines and pick up all the beans that the combine leaves wast not want not

@brucebehner4142 2 года назад

Wondering what pintos go for a bushel. Im a straight grain guy, wheat, soybeans and corn. We dont have the infrastructure in northern ohio for edibles. I like to see different stuff tho.

They need to add beans to FS22

@josececenas182 2 года назад

Hi Mitch, what are your combine settings to get those clean pinto beans?

@beetfarminmitch 2 года назад

Usually I run the concave around 2.9, fan max, rotor speed 310 dry. I just go by what the combine book says for pinto beans. Sieves I adjust accordingly. Sometimes I need to make small adjustments along the way.

@danarrighi2742 2 года назад

Hey Mitch, just tripped onto your channel, awesome. I liked and subscribed. If I might suggest: people judge you by the words you use...try, try not to use the words "so" and "basically", they are crutch words and do not add anything to the conversation. Take care, be safe,

@beetfarminmitch 2 года назад

Thank you for that Dan, that’s great advice! I noticed that when I was making this video. “Good Lord, I’ve been using the word basically a lot hahaha”

@edeancozzens3833 2 года назад

We always cut our beans and let them dry.
