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
@@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

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.
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.
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.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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 .
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
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.
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.
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.
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...."
I'm really happy to watch your video, I hope you will grow and create for the benefit of all our compatriots with love. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
