Villagers React To Modern Farming Machines & Technology that will Amaze You ! Tribal People React 

That's where the problem lies as many talented and hard working people end up being unemployed by these technologies (Glad some of these are still just in progress).

@@KohliVersion2K16 Jobs lost in one place due to going extinct are usually replaced elsewhere. People being unemployed will also be replaced in the great scheme of things ensuring that the GDP continues to be good.

@@KohliVersion2K16 yea, sure, " talented and hard working people" you think those people would waste time being low level labors? if so, then they aren't that talented.

@@stefthorman8548 Some people can just afford to be that due to lack of resources because for people like those, low level labour isn't a choice it's a necessity and only way of living. All kinds of talented workers cannot make it into the higher calibre due to so many reasons.

@@RoninX33 my father is in his 60's he can't just "learn to code" at a certain point these machines eliminate the jobs of lower class people and older people driving people into destitution but it profitable for the companies. it is because of these sorts of machines that the middle class is shrinking. used to be a factory worker doing 40 hours a week could be middle class now their lucky to be above the poverty line

And the guys that broke it have to fix it. Sounds familiar

Over here we have companies that own farm equipment and farmers can hire a machine + operator to get work done. That way the farmer doesn't have to buy a expensive machine just to get one field done once a year.

Right. The only way these benefit anything besides huge conglomerates is if Coops are formed. I think in some places, an entire local government might have to buy them and farmers would need to be assigned time with them.

@@Wiley_Coyote The last decades it have been more "common" to do this in Sweden too. At least were I grew up. Farmers pool their resources to get a much larger combine. Then take turns and working shifts for each other to harvest as quickly as possible, ie when the weather is good. That way they are not so "fragile" when it comes to costs or being sick during critical phases.

They were doing that with ox-drawn plows too. They'd all pitch in to buy a shiny steel blade for the co-op, and everyone's oxen would take turns plowing fields. And they'd move from one farm to the next doing it.

Even us people from more rural America are blown away by the efficiency of machines like this too. They're incredible!

From Missouri here ! I remember my brothers bucking bails at .10 cents a piece :) the bigger farmers have a lot of this equipment but are in debt …

My family are Tabacoo farmers since the early 1800s. My grandfather's farm produced almost all of Reynolds Tabacco's used for its products. He was also first cousins with R.J Reynolds. My grandfather used old-school farming methods until his death. He used Mule carts for pulling harvest and running supplies to the fields. All the Tabacco was strung by hand and dried in Tabacco barns, not machines designed to quickly dry the Tabacco. He still managed to turn out huge crops every year of his adult life with manpower. He employed nearly every farmhand in his county but the job got done and on time.

@@Meriale46 that’s quite a history !!

Amen 🙏🏻 brother

@@MrRickkramer well he maybe right but it's still a lot easier than indian farming

Farmers feed families and cities. Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you 🙏

I AGREE!!👍

@@suesullivan-miller887 I get all excited when it's something that they can relate to better!

Yeah, because they know what a pain their work is without machines 😂

yeah, society changes one with the other, but the laborers that used to harvest are jobless, some of them with no experience to find and unrelated job. you need to know how to do many things to keep on the job market

A tractor for these farmers would be like many of us trying to buy a Rolls Royce.

I think a lot of these machines are used mainly by big farming megacorps, with smaller farmers having access to fewer and simpler machines. For the smallest farmers in the US, I have a feeling things aren't very different from what the small farmers in India are familiar with: tractors with towed machinery for the heavy lifting that animals once did (plowing and that sort of thing), some light power tools (chainsaws and the like) for things that tractors can't do, and hand tools and elbow-grease for everything else. For my family's small "victory garden" farming back in the '80s and '90s in rural Kentucky, we didn't even have a tractor or proper power tools, so we'd be out there breaking ground in the fields with hoes and rakes and shovels, hauling rocks by hand, and chopping weeds up with these things we "affectionately" called "idiot sticks", which were like semi-sharp jagged blades at the end of stick that would brute-force its way through heavy brush (it seems that in more professional work, these tools are known as "grass whips" or "sling blades", but I guess we had a weird sense of humor about that sort of thing - my father would say "I'm gonna need a couple other idiots to grab the idiot-sticks and help me chop some briers - wanna give me a hand?" :D ) Before we moved in, in the 1980s, and used the land to grow beans, corn, apples, potatoes, and tomatoes to help feed our family, that farm produced tobacco and straw, and apparently relied on back-breaking and inexpensive manual labor from migrant workers, often from Mexico in the later years. I take it from hearing neighbors talk that at least up to the 1950s and 1960s, local families would pitch in to do the work and that such work was a good way for kids to earn a little part-time money on break from school, to help supplement their parents' income, and maybe save up for a used car, rifle, their own house with plot of farmland, etc. They worked with tobacco by hand, in blazing summer heat, and apparently the sap from the leaves and stalks would just soak into your hands and skin, and make you pretty sick if you weren't used to it, but people would get used to it and get by - the point being that the work was done mostly by hand: gathering the stalks up, and hanging them in a large barn to cure, before taking it down to haul off to auction for the big tobacco companies to make cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products from. When a tractor was used, I don't think it was owned or kept on the property, but rather one of the handful of locals who could afford to buy a tractor would be hired to drive the tractor in to plow the fields or whatever. In a lot of ways, I think the India these fellows know, looks and works a lot like the Kentucky my grandparents knew in the 1950s and 1960s, and my grandmother would probably have reacted almost exactly as Babu does, if she were to see these videos now: she'd remember what life was like for her on my great-grandfather's farm, and would be astonished at how the world has changed since then! These gentlemen are seeing the changes over a shorter period of time, but the basic idea holds. Anyway, mass-producing food on an industrial scale with robots and gigantic specialized vehicles is, from my experience, something that only the biggest, wealthiest farming corporations in the USA can afford, while smaller American farmers are all but extinct these days! And I think a look at what a day in the life of a small American farmer today is like would be a great video for reaction - I have a feeling a lot of it would be familiar to the Commen Men. Certainly, from what I've seen, the reverse is true: what I've seen of their village in the video where they celebrated a birthday with home cooking reminds me a lot of Kentucky: the land and farming looks similar, the dirt roads are familiar, the small outbuildings aren't very different, everyone putting on their "Sunday Best" for a special occasion with a sort of "potluck dinner" of traditional foods looked familiar, and so on - the language, religion, and traditions are different, and rural India has maybe a couple generations of economic and technological catching-up to do to start looking (for better or worse) like rural USA, but I think there's a lot more about each other that we could relate to, than otherwise!

@@pietrayday9915 In the US farmers get subsidized a lot. Many of the small time farmers I know have machines like the ones in this video as a result.

@@pietrayday9915 the big mega corps contract the work out to the farmers and buy whatever grade of crop they're looking for.. the farmers get subsidies (yes probably not enough but still enough to stay modern and competitive) when they havent sold their crop at peak grade.. but mega corps dont really farm themselves.. their suppliers are the farmers.. they just pay for the grades worth and call it their own.. however.. I've heard some shady tactics that they use.. such as.. not using the same farmers crops too many times in a row as to not make that farmer too rich

@@johnfrench6564 In India, Only in few states like Punjab, Gujarat, Kerala etc, famers can afford this type of machines, because they are richer in comparison to farmers from other states... U can find a large number of Rich farmers in Punjab.... 😁

@@PladimirVutin Farmers in the US have to pretty much live off the government since they on average only make a little over $40,000. Some mega-farms make millions though.

Pretty sure they all work on farms,so they have professional interest along with their usual curiosity.

@@kdrapertrucker yes, I think they’re farmers.

Actually, salt is the salt of the earth.

@@uguuwuu6882 not if its on venus

These machines may generate more profit but not usually for the small subsistence farmers. This is where the big boys usually take over.

Don’t forget the prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

I'd contribute so that their village could have these machines and the the training to use and fix them.

useless to implement if infra does not exist - and there is no right-to-repair - otherwise enslaving the locals to bigcorp - hello progress

@@herauthon *What? Who is enslaving? Your comments so stupid. I'm just posting how much it will cost if you want to buy one for your farm. Lots of farm owner here in the USA owned one. Why do you need government to implement owning this machine? No right to re-pair? Where are you? I know you are not living in USA.*

@@cathousemary - Before you get to that point you'd have to flatten and clear the land enough for these machines to work on them. That would require generations and do far more damage. Let them start with tractors and 3m attachments first, hmm?

And that is only partially correct. Technological and other improvements give more profit than loss. That's how the world is much richer today than it was a century ago.

That's not true at all. Profit can be made from literally nothing.

@@KurNorock give one example.

@@robertcampomizzi7988 Literally every new technology invented.

@@robertcampomizzi7988 the "Pet Rock". yeah...it was a thing.

In Europe, farmers set up a cooperative to pay for the machines and use them jointly one after the other. That's especially the case for specialized machines, because they are too expensive, that it doesn't make much sense for one farmer to buy it. And larger companies have specialized in renting out these machines. If many farmers join and collect money to buy one machine, the machines become affordable.

@@OpenGL4ever True that or in case of the steam threshers they got rented only for harvest season ect. Its hard to believe that those were in active use in Europe up to the mid 70ties. ( Not generally but still around)

These machines weren't available in the 1800s.

@@brians48now They were look up Mc Cormick harvester ect, a lot of modern harvesting tools were also around as horse drawn maschines majorly right after world war II in Germany, most agriculture was still based around the horse. Classsics of these are plows , seeders ,wheat harvesters and potatoe diggers.

@@vHindenburg That's the biggest stretch I've ever seen. Why not go back to when there weren't any horses? Going by your argument you should use hand-held tools to further the narrative. That's like saying todays modern car is the same as the carts being used in 2000 BC.

I don't think the person that chooses the video has the expertise required to explain every video they watch, I had no idea what half the machine's did or what they were harvesting just by watching it, they should look for videos that explain it and they only need to translate it.

In more recent videos I noticed Babu wears eye glasses now. Necessary as we age. Happy for him.

Someone has to design the machines, create them, maintain, update, replace, etc. The jobs don't go away, they just shift to different fields and make work easier and more productive. There are more jobs today than any other time in history, and technology keeps progressing. People love to claim the opposite to push political agendas, but the facts are not on their side. Wealth is created and is not fixed, we all came from poverty and now most of us live easier and healthier lives.

@@Zyxi7 Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

@@RLemieux64 Great argument, what an intellectual you must be.... Intelligent people actually attempt to refute a claim, they don't write drivel as you have, and then think it somehow proves something. Don't flaunt your ignorance, child.

@@Zyxi7 Zzz

@@RLemieux64 Is that the noise you make because you're asleep in this world and have no idea what is going on? Or is this the way you communicate because your IQ is too low to speak a language? Either way, it's obvious you're not someone who can think logically.

That's not the only disadvantage. The modern specialized machines are so expensive, that the manufaturer and big companies who can afford them do rent them out. But that's not all they do. With computers and modern data collection they collect the data about the fields. Thus they know which fields are productive and not very productive. And this knowledge is then used against the farmers, the companies start to buy the productive fields with the help of that collected data.

Well said. The soil is now often so stripped that the crop often doesn't contain the very vitamins or minerals they are known for.

Netherlands the driving force for such a small country exporting the second by value is the high price fetched for live plants and flowers such as tulips which more than half of the world's supply comes from. Why do you need such machinery for this?

@@Kenneth_James I don't really understand your question. Why do Dutch farmers need such big machines? Because they need to be extremely productive per hectare of land. The Netherlands is almost 300 times smaller than the USA, so it can't have huge farms. I have been to USA farms and they are extremely large. My last name also means farmer (de Boer) and I have several family members with farms. Also worked to harvest flowers for the export as a summer job. The Netherlands is the number one flower exporter mainly because it has huge greenhouses covering large areas. Also most flowers in the world go through Aalsmeer, the largest flower auction in the world. But the Netherlands also produces a lot of potatoes, tomatoes, wheat and lot of meat. To produce almost 100 billion euros (110 billion dollars) for the export market, dutch farmers use drones, robots and self driving tractors. Also my uncle has a dairy farm with a milk robot where cows can milk themselves. They are fed automatically and the sheds are cleaned with a robot. He can run the entire operation from behind a computer and even use an app to check how much milk the cows produce. But especially for growing vegetables it is better to used mixed farming where you promote soil life to be improved. Especially worms play a pivotal role in that.

There is a movement in the US that's similar which focuses on sustainability and rejuvenation of the soil. It includes crop rotations, like most farming, but it also includes rotating specific livestock in and out of fields that are "resting" to help revitalize the soil.

Not everyone can become a white collar worker. This is the problem. There are not enough high skill jobs to go around

give up the life of a furry, to improve your outlook

Time to leave Finland lol

There are plenty of places in the world that aren't cold and dark. Most of them, even. Time to move, no joke.

Hey, I hope you are feeling better. I found this channel while bedridden due to knee surgery. These guys helped me stay sane. How are you doing? Take care, ok?

This summer you will plan your winter escape to warmer and lighter climates. Buy the tickets. Inform people. Find a place to stay. Rent out your place. Do it while you have the energy. You can't do it once darkness grabs you.

I think that's what they were saying that was being translated as spraying "medicine" on the plants: I don't speak the language, but I'm assuming it's a "close enough" translation for insecticide (sine the translator used the word "fertilizer" elsewhere). I get the impression that the sort of farming done in their village is a smaller-scale farming, compared to the large-scale (and, I expect, corporate) farming that uses a lot of these larger, more expensive, more specialized machines: I don't see that sort of machinery for the smaller farms in my part of the USA, and at least within my lifetime, it wasn't too strange in my part of the USA for smaller farms to hire someone to bring specialized machines - even the common tractor - to do work on farms that don't have their own machines. India is a large, diverse country, and I wouldn't be surprised to find there are places there where farming is done on a larger scale with similar machinery owned by those large farms!

When I was in college and grad school, some of the brightest science and engineering students that I knew were first-generation Americans whose parents had immigrated here from India. The only difference between them and Raeen is that they had opportunities for education that he hasn't had. Hopefully his children will have more opportunity to develop their potential.

@Björn Björk many children do but that is usually because of supply chains and lack of access not strictly from poverty. but put simply it does not matter if there is a food bank 30 miles away giving out food if you have no way to get there

@Björn Björk are you kidding? Plenty of people in the US go hungry. Poverty is real. Hunger is real.

@Björn Björk the US has 10's of millions of people that are food insecure. Pretending they aren't struggling won't change that. Even with things like food banks, they frequently aren't able to help everyone simply because of how widespread poverty and food insecurity is in the US

@@iliketea9122 Meanwhile the people "suffering" have smart phones and are overweight because they consume fast food crap. A healthy diet is cheap, cabbage, beans, lentils and some eggs & milk and the occasional orange does it. All the protein, & vit. needed.

It would still be very far away from from what they are used to, which is oxen.

Joel Zalatin anyone?

You're correct!, is the video where Babu became very emotional at the end of the video ♥️

@@thecatatemyhomework Well, on the other hand, oxen is very organic :)

My father was involved with an aid program to farmers in developing countries. He knew that sending machines and other things to them was more problematic than helping them in other ways. Machines require the kind of infrastructure that supports their use: fuel, parts and other things. Fertilizers need it own kind of infrastructure etc etc. He made (the right) conclusion that actual farmers knew their fields and crops the best. What worked the best was to set up a co-operative banking system and a way to share seeds and knowledge between the farmers. If any substantial investment should be made through the aid program it had to be a permanent solution, like assisting with machinery for digging wells or similar.
