About 1948 when I was about 4 Dad moved us to Perris Valley Ca. for the potato harvest. He leased his two ton truck for 35 dollars a day to haul spuds to the grading sheds and over the mountain to distribution centers. Our entire family 4 older siblings and Mom picked up spuds by hand in army duffle bags for 5 cents a bag. Me and baby sister were too young for the spud harvest. Its good to see things mechanised now days. Perris Valley is now all city and the potato land is under someone's yard or parking lot.

ok so 1966, 9 yrs old, local school shut down for 3 weeks to help harvest the Maine potato crop, pick the potato's into a basket, empty basket into a wooden barrel, place your numbered ticket onto wooden barrel, fill as many barrels as possible (sunrise to sunset) for 3 weeks. .35 cents per barrel, could only fill 10-15 barrels a day. Bought my first big boy bike that year. Circa 1969-70, no more child labor allowed to harvest the potato crop.

Worked in the Idaho potato harvest from 3rd grade through freshman year in college. Started as a picker then worked on the scraper tractor. In high school drove truck and college 18 wheeler. Miss the smell and taste of that dirt! It’s been 32 years since I’ve last been there after moving away. Every early October I still get that feeling. Always get a sense of pride when I walk into 5 guys and tell the kids “hey I know that farm!” When I see the names on the board identifying the source of their spuds. Thanks for sharing!

The Potatoe grower (headaches, heartaches, worries, cost of doing business), and will the product be good for the buyer. Very difficult, I would imagine and some restless nights for sure. Nevertheless, the EXCELLENT owner will always (as the Good Book Says) have an eye on the least of the brethren, the laborers. Pay them not the least but the most you can. The Lord is watching you and will bless you. Fly the American Flag proudly, my father, Raul Sr. (US Army Sargent) fought in COLD combat as a forward observer in Korea, he was a proud American. Why not serve a hot meal to the families who work for you and maybe give them a small flag from the country that they come from.

This brings back memories from 50 years ago when I drove truck for Spada Bro. in Saint Paul Oregon on sandy river delta soil. It was. a smaller farm of only about 300 acres of potatoes. Then we only had the 4 row harvester dumping into the trucks. Then we had some G.I. military 6 x 6 trucks with the same bed on them like you have. It was very interesting driving those old smokers in the field and taking them to the processing bldg. What a memory. Thanks.

I’ve been watching family farms for years, so cool seeing potatoes for a change! You’ll laugh, we planted our first potato crop here in PA(planted them in straw) they did pretty well for never planting them. Our storage potatoes are white & red. We ate our russets. I didn’t think they stored well. That is I guess, unless you have a professional set up in the potato capital of the country! Very interesting! We subscribed & will be following along. Ppl have no idea how important our farmers are(not corporate CCP owned farms!) Food security is national security & if you know you’re history, potatoes saved lives during famines!

2800 acre’s and you fill 8 of these buildings? Holy cow! Very informative video on how spuds are harvested. I’m west of you in Boise. I have a friend who custom farms potatoes in the Marsing area. A couple yrs back I went out after the harvest to pick up some spuds to bake. These spuds were the size of NFL footballs! I tried baking one for three hours and gave up. Turns out these huge spuds were going to Simplots for processing in Caldwell them to McDonald’s for those famous French fries! Idaho is famous for its potatoes because of the volcanic soil with all the minerals. One of my favorite meals on a Saturday watching college football is to bake some spuds like the size here on your farm. Buy some Wendy’s Chili and dump the chili on the baked potato. Perfect meal, especially watching Saturday football. Loved the video on how the machine picked up the spuds. Will this machine pick up sugar beets as well? Thank you for feeding the world!

I’m glad you liked the video. just to clarify our farm is 2800 acres but we only grew 1250 acres of potatoes and we are filling nine cellars. This is not the equipment for sugar beet harvest but we don’t grow sugar beets, because we are too far away from the plant.

3 1/2 minutes to fill a truck, with a 16 row setup it takes the Wada boys 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. A second windrower wouldn't help too much. Didn't know you could start the crossover separately on the windrower, helps the combine get in place an not miss any. When I farmed 5 trucks could keep up to our 2 row windrower and 2 row harvester easy.

I'm from central Minnesota. I work for R.D. Offutt as a seasonal worker, just finished our potato harvest yesterday. Our yields were too good we ran out of room in our storage and the plant that takes them doesn't have room either for some time lol so our last field of taters is getting plowed under.

That’s no good you could always build a straw building and put them in there. That was our plan if we run out of room.

Cool video. I am in NWPA and we have potato fields around here (Troyer Brothers) and I am always curious about the process. They run JD and Spudnick as well up here and they also farm in FL. Very cool to see up close...thanks for the video!

My question is, why you aren,t pick up 16 rows with the harvester? Isn't it an option to put some rows from left and right? Such an interesting video. I love it!

We could run another windrower, but currently our seller cannot keep up so if that becomes a problem, we can add another windrower

WOW 6 months to a year! Had no idea potatoes could be stored that long in those conditions. Thought for sure you were going to say weeks or months.

It’s true. And the ones you see in the grocery stores are at least that old.
