I am a maintenance electrician working on electrical repairs in irrigation pivos and pumps in southeastern Brazil; therefore I am not a farmer but I love to see all this and I thank for sharing with the world this wonderful work
Fabulous video! I've watched dairy, beef, cotton, soybean, corn, & wheat farming channels. I never thought to watch cucumber harvesting, until this video showed up in the recommended video section!
THANK YOU for turning off the music. When I realized that, I turned my sound back on, and listened happily to the music of the machines! great drone work, outstanding vid.
Very interesting video! It's so amazing the quality of drone videos and how it can take us so close to the action and still not be in anyone's way. That roll-by shot starting at 7:45 is more steady than my camera on my tripod without me even touching it!
The Vogel is about double the size of the Blackwelder Cucumber Harvester that I operated in the same fields 50 years ago for Libby. Replaced most of the migrant labor. Same fields, same Crop (but now all cucumbers ripen at the same time) just new machines. My how life around Almond has changed in the past half century. I must be getting old.
My fav is Vlasic pickles and these machines remind me of a John Deere 9870 STS that's been completely torn apart and rebuilt for this type of work,really neat to watch!!.
So much easier then when we use to pitch them.I thought they said the immgrants picked them.Farm life is so rewarding. I remember as a kid wanting to leave the farm. Now that I'm older I dream about going back to the farm.
I used to pick gerkins by hand with 4 people on a creeper. The gerkins keep on coming back. The harvest just keeps on going. The patch I worked on was only 1/4 acre. These are huge fields. It was not easy fighting the horseflys and the hot sun. This type of harvest gets many sizes of cucumbers. Sorting happens at the canning plants. At the end of the day, the harvesters get their cut and the price fluctuates daily during harvest. I wonder if Rent a Rabbi has to bless the harvesting equipment for Kosher Dills?
We do not have low crop cucumbers in Belgium, it's actually first time I've ever seen these. We have cucumber farms under glass here and they are grown on guides overhead.
I have seen so many kinds of videos of fruit n vegetable harvest...tonnes n tonnes of food produced through out the world n still hunger exists in today's world...

Cucumbers can be determinate - grow, bloom, set fruit and mature all at the same time, or indeterminate - grow, bloom, set fruit & mature continually throughout the growing season.
GOD BLESS all the American farmers our foood should be the cheapest in the world.but because of big money and power we suffer. I love farmers.God bless everyone.
you work very hard and you harvest the labor of your works,keep up the good work and perseverance! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Hello Can You tel me what kind of cucumber You harvest ing? I 'm from Poland I have smal organic farm i also harvest ing cucumber but by hand with 30 people🤠🚜😥
non-farmer here; just curious, is the harvesting equipment owned by the farmer or rented at harvest time? is the equipment for cucumber only or can they be set up up to harvest other crops? thanks.
Very interesting, never seen a cucumber combine before. Are those machines digging the plant or are they just cutting off the plant at the surface ? If it is just cutting plant off at the surface, will the plant grow back for another harvest or would it have to be replanted for another harvest in another season? What do you do with the trash left in the field ?
Yep As a kid, I spent an entire summer picking them for grandma to pickle. Her pickles were good, but even she had to admit it was a lot of aggravation for results little better than could be gotten by simply buying a jar of Vlasic instead. ;)
First I agree with you. Part of the reason, and it's only part of the reason, is that drones can't have microphones all you would hear is the drones propellers.
I don think they even had a harvester back then because all the farmers had migrant workers hand picking, I just wonder what year the cucumber harvester came out. Well I guess Michigan State University came up with the ver first once over picker for pickles, maybe those farmers in Augre Michigan couldn't afford them I don't know but 38 years ago is when I picked so maybe they were still to expensive for the smaller farms to afford.

I love cucumbers because not only are they a food, they are also very good for facial skin care
These videos never get old, I could watch them over and over

Similar to the sugar beet harvest. Do they run 24 hour shifts to?
Everybody loves Cucumbers or those awesome Claussen Pickles! Great video my friend! Please do more!
My daughter loves cucumbers, and loved the video. Thanks!
It's great to see the machine at work. Maybe next time if you could actually explain how the machine works front to back that would be great
I'm no expert, but it does look very similar to a Tomato harvester. There are a few good videos on TH-cam about them.

Thanks! I was kind of surprised I got that shot considering there was a good breeze that day.
Lol i know what you mean my footage is always a little shaky but none of my viewers complain
My viewers generally don't say much about it either, but I am my harshest critic....it bugs me.
Corey Perron 😫😫😶😶
eSPeeScotty
O
I see these are the pickling type of cucumbers where they use all sizes looks like a good harvest and thanks so much for sharing this video .
I had no idea cucumbers were harvested this way...Great video...Thanks
Excellent mix of aerial drone and handheld footage with unobtrusive music and equipment sound as well, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Fascinating to watch, very enjoyable, thank you.
I wish Farming Simulator need more different corps to harvest!!! Just like this. Sigh, but video amazing and education :)
It would be great...i'm playing Farming Simulator 19 and that could be awesome...
High tech.Motherland Africa need this equiment.Thx 4 upload,Congrets!!!!!

Our #Chefs thank you for growing all them cucumbers and pickles. Time to cook.
Always a joy to watch. 💛

The quality and impressive video from the drone's are amazing
Nice but I would have liked some more close-ups to see how the machine actually picks up the vines and processes the products the machine
What you mean you haven't seen enough drone/music videos?
It was a great video keep them coming please very interesting stuff, 👍🇺🇸
So much easier then when we use to pitch them.I thought they said the immgrants picked them.Farm life is so rewarding. I remember as a kid wanting to leave the farm. Now that I'm older I dream about going back to the farm.
I used to that by hand in Alabama , back in the late 90s.
God bless the farmers
I second,third and forth that.
Interesting...great footage from above!
thanks for showing us this!
Awesome video and job well done, is this located in the states ?👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My mouth is watering. I can taste cucumber sandwich's , cucumber salad, and eating a cucumber right out of that field....mmmm.
Nice video. Never seen this before in my country Belguim. No big farms around here.
We do not have low crop cucumbers in Belgium, it's actually first time I've ever seen these. We have cucumber farms under glass here and they are grown on guides overhead.
How many tons of cucumbers can you pick in a day and are these for pickles or are these consumption cucumbers just curious great video by the way
What variety of cucumbers. Unbelievable quantity.
Amazing! I wonder what they do with the vines that are left? Do they go as animal feed, or what?
Plowed back into the fields as organic matter.
Great video thanks for sharing it.
I have seen so many kinds of videos of fruit n vegetable harvest...tonnes n tonnes of food produced through out the world n still hunger exists in today's world...
Amazing!! 😳 I’m watch this again 😊
wow! this awesome cucumber harvesting video
I had no idea there was such a thing as a purpose-built combine for Cucumbers.
Those are illegal immigrants who are picking our crops this is why we need more of them to invade the country
@@justbe4481 Tucker Carlson reported on his show that crop harvesting is more and more automated.
I get the sarcasm in your comment.
Probably just an attachment

@@niniv2706 No way in hell you get 10 times the yield that the machine can pick up
Amazing what a few people can do with the modern equipment available to day
Sorry folks but these are the immigrants that you depend on to pick our crops
What do they spray on them to all ripen at the same time? I will stick with growing my own instead of eating all those chemicals
Cucumbers can be determinate - grow, bloom, set fruit and mature all at the same time, or indeterminate - grow, bloom, set fruit & mature continually throughout the growing season.
Amazing cucumber machine ,beautiful ,green from mizoram india
GOD BLESS all the American farmers our foood should be the cheapest in the world.but because of big money and power we suffer. I love farmers.God bless everyone.
I counted 9,173,236,975 cucumbers .. how many did you get? signed, Rain Man
Thank heaven for the thick skin on veggies. Such a beating.
This is almost inconceivable... how many King Soopers, Safeways, Walmarts... would just this one field supply?
Very much in the style of Tractorspotter, but with a USA flavour! Good work. Maybe you should get in touch with Tractorspotter and link videos.
Modern cucumber harvesting machinery
What are the mechanisms that, 1) pull the plants out of the ground, and, 2) separate the cukes from the plant?
you work very hard and you harvest the labor of your works,keep up the good work and perseverance! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Hello Can You tel me what kind of cucumber You harvest ing? I 'm from Poland I have smal organic farm i also harvest ing cucumber but by hand with 30 people🤠🚜😥
That's just wow,love to see the final prosseing of them pickles
But why its no harvesting along all summer time? Its once harvest or was some harvest before without destroy? Sorry english bro
Interesting to see how this is done. Thank you
How does it reject leaves but not the cucumbers?
There was a pickle factory close to me growing up. Their vats were outside and were 20 ft. across and two stories high.
When I was a teenager I used to pick cucumbers by hand no big machines around us.
interesting! the front tires probably smashed some? or do they have some kind of level to do the magic?
Very interesting, what tonnage per hector comes off ?, seems to be a great crop, and what is the process when they leave the field ?. Stephen
seems a bit heavy-handed to me. are all harvesters fitted with devices to play those feckin muzak loops?? must make the drivers insane
Wish the drone usage was better. It would be so much better to really see the process up close.
insane vid bro
What variety are the cucumbers 🥒?
Thank god for mechanical picking these days. By hand in the old days would take a lot of bodies that’s for sure.
non-farmer here;
just curious, is the harvesting equipment owned by the farmer or rented at harvest time?
is the equipment for cucumber only or can they be set up up to harvest other crops?
thanks.
P
Some are owned by the farmers and then they take them out and custom harvest for the neighbors
Merci pour cette vidéo étonnante récolte nous cela ce fait à la main 👍👍👍👍👍
Heureusement je ne me vois pas avec une machine pareille dans mon jardin....
On fait encore plus compliqué depuis des décennies, comme la machine à cueillir les haricots verts.
Some amazing crap to watch!! Have you ever done straw berry?? By pick by hand or machine??
Nice video , great machines ; LIKE!!! Greets Stefan
great video! i like the song starting at 1:53. what's the name of it?
Do the cukes get bruised from all this mechanical handling? Or are they for pickles?
I will never go to the store for a single cucumber the same again.
Is that a determinant variety of cucumber?
Does this damage the cucumbers much?
That is a heck of a lot of salads!
Don’t forget the pickles, Stu! :)
I'm very interesting ! many thanks for sharing!
That path that was made through that field,was it made by hogs?
Very interesting, never seen a cucumber combine before. Are those machines digging the plant or are they just cutting off the plant at the surface ? If it is just cutting plant off at the surface, will the plant grow back for another harvest or would it have to be replanted for another harvest in another season? What do you do with the trash left in the field ?
replant. and that "trash" is organic fertilizer plowed in along with another 50-80% commercial fertilizer for the next season.
Hey I really enjoy your channel ☺ Keep it up!
LOL I picked these things by hand back in the '60s.
lol
Yep
As a kid, I spent an entire summer picking them for grandma to pickle.
Her pickles were good, but even she had to admit it was a lot of aggravation for results little better than could be gotten by simply buying a jar of Vlasic instead. ;)
Me too, early 70's. Pickle size for $.30 a bucket.
This is a single picking per field. The plant produces pickles daily for around 6 weeks.
How many of those things get tossed out the back of the machine?
EU amo esse estilo d vida
The farm I worked at sold them to Vaslic pickles in Michigan there are a bunch of Vaslic Pickle plants
0:24 holy shit who edited this my eyes
would this be Hard tung brothers?
how many rabbits are harvested each day?
Mmm pickled rabbit stew
very interesting. thanks.
What's the purpose of the diagonal line cut across the field?
The diagonal lines are the wheel marks left from their moving irrigation system/sprinkler.
the erogation
probably should till the leaf back into the soil, its a much higher return in nutrients than leaving them above. might be worth the effort
Why always the loud music in this type of video?
First I agree with you. Part of the reason, and it's only part of the reason, is that drones can't have microphones all you would hear is the drones propellers.
Now that's production.
ماشاء الله تبارك الله
Great (weird) music in this vid. Didya know they have Cucumber Gatorade now? Howdy from Florida!
Must be a USA thing, Cucumber Gatorade, unbelievable but true it would seem. Amazing
Super and scrumptious
I don think they even had a harvester back then because all the farmers had migrant workers hand picking, I just wonder what year the cucumber harvester came out. Well I guess Michigan State University came up with the ver first once over picker for pickles, maybe those farmers in Augre Michigan couldn't afford them I don't know but 38 years ago is when I picked so maybe they were still to expensive for the smaller farms to afford.
Great vid🤙🏻
So this is only good for one pick basically??
Now that's a lot of cucumbers.
I am rich from reviewtechusa and I approve of this message
