Thank you all the farmers and all the harvesters, specially the manual labors. God bless you all.

[@tony98discovery]

What do you think about the sweet potato production process in the US?

[@trvman1]

$70.00 a day for back breaking work and they may work 10 hours a day. That's less then the Federal Minimum wage.

[@AgritechFutureUS]

Grateful for your hard work! 🙏🌾

[@furkankaraca1071]

Thank you to the ranchers and workers harvesting sweet potatoes and sweet corn

[@tony98discovery]

They worked so hard and hard

[@ufuktumer772]

Thank you harvest workers in the United States, I was raised by you.

[@tony98discovery]

Looks like you're a city dweller

[@rehanaakhtar730]

All processing and unique machines, and the maintainers etc etc are soooooooooo much outstanding, marvellous and spectaculars. I JUST LOVE THIS ALL AND ALSO HOW MUCH TECNIQUES ARE THERE WITH INCREDIBLE HANDLERS. BLESS YOU ALL.

[@beckyluvstoscrapnsew]

I’d happily pay more for my produce if I knew those working this hard all day got the extra but that is never gonna happen…

[@ulanbatar]

u r wrong..
the good outdo the bad..
kenya is much worse

[@SnapCracklePapa]

Why do they risk their life coming here and volunteer to work? If the job did not pay enough, none of the workers would stay.

[@yunusemrekarabalta7706]

I have never seen people harvest sweet potatoes by machine before, thanks for your video

[@tony98discovery]

How do you see the process of planting and harvesting sweet potatoes of American farmers?

[@beytibilgec3744]

Perfect video

[@tony98discovery]

Thank you

[@selssels8957]

I like the manual way of harvesting sweet potatoes rather than machines, I used to grow sweet potatoes.

[@ismailunlu_1]

I smile when I see the sweet potato harvesters working so hard.

[@tony98discovery]

[@tony98discovery]

Thanks, Mary Moore, I hope you can point out many bad points in my video and we will try to improve them.

[@OyunCanavari16]

We need to ensure the rights of these sweet potato harvesters and other farm workers.

[@sultantanelci4836]

I don't think I can run like those sweet potato harvesters, it's quite hard work

[@kafasnagore6253]

The Farming Documentary I watched recently highlighted the importance of organic farming

[@tony98discovery]

Yes, many consumers are drawn to organic produce due to concerns about chemical residues in conventionally grown foods.

[@sametcetin9484]

As someone who lives in Idaho, I prefer potatoes to sweet potatoes

[@tony98discovery]

I like both, they are delicious

[@Dlardox]

Hi. Love your films again. (the name of the State of Arkansas is pronounced "Arh-Ken-Saw" not "Ar-Kansas")

[@psychougur7326]

It would be great if we could grow sweet potatoes in our own garden and harvest them ourselves.

[@tony98discovery]

Sweet potatoes are easy to grow

[@jeanmeslier9491]

You can easily. From the seed companies buy small plants called 'slips'. Or just buy a sweet potato and put it in water and let it sprout. Plant these slips root first and wait.

[@kulsumkulsum6459]

Tony bro I love agriculture. I want to go America. Please help me.

[@kadiraydn6969]

I can eat sweet potatoes and sweet corn everyday without getting bored

[@tony98discovery]

You must really like them

Cool to see old school buses revamped for another use instead of destroyed as scrap ( mind you , now a days they seem to be cool as little houses which is great too )

[@tony98discovery]

I am also very impressed with this way of transporting sweet potatoes

[@youtubexleyn2934]

If we don't have sweet potatoes, I'll eat sweet corn

[@ia34521]

I love making cakes with sweet potatoes, it's amazing.

[@tony98discovery]

I've also eaten sweet potato cakes before, quite delicious.

[@cihansimsekmcs6274]

I'll also pick up some sweet potato samples next year, hope all goes well

[@tony98discovery]

Is the sweet potato growing area large?

[@pisik2176]

Harvesting sweet potatoes by machine is much faster than harvesting by workers

[@msp_rana_616]

I live in Ohio and my whole family loves sweet potatoes.

[@tony98discovery]

Great, does your family eat sweet potatoes every day?

[@selinuyar3809]

When I was young, I used to go to my uncle's house to eat baked sweet potatoes

Hundreds of tons of hand-harvested sweet potatoes, crazy

[@crawlplayz2466]

I also planted a few poles of sweet potatoes to bring to the market to sell

[@muhammetpolat1336]

Are sweet potatoes the main ingredient for flour production?

[@dursuncansahin2763]

I've never seen how one harvests sweet potatoes on a large farm like this before

[@fratfidan7382]

What are most sweet potatoes made into? Flour or dried sweet potato

[@tfp7105]

Dozens of workers working in sweet potato fields, so hard

[@5kittens]

Nice​ video

[@korkusuzreis8583]

Sweet potato harvesters need to be paid better

My wife often buys sweet potatoes for the kids in the cafeteria

[@yasargungor3787]

The workers who harvest sweet potatoes work hard, how much are they paid a day

[@nizipkorkmazlarinsaat]

As far as I know, China is the place with the most sweet potatoes.

Thank you for your information, how do you like the potato taste?

[@burakzbabo4194]

Will the workers who harvest sweet potatoes have to bow their backs all day like that

Back breaking work. Definitely not payed enough.

Instead of playing that country music you play some cumbias

[@lahmacunllahmacun9403]

I can eat 3 sweet potatoes alone in the morning

[@alanstrong55]

It takes so much skill and expertise to do such. Must require a different type of soil and climate than white or red potatoes. You may have my portion of sweet potatoes.

[@tony98discovery]

Is there a sweet potato farm near you?

[@alanstrong55]

@@tony98discovery None in my neighborhood. My wife likes em. They are not a favorite of mine. They blend well in a veggie beef soup.

Do you know where is the largest sweet potato farm in the world, Tony?

[@tony98discovery]

I think it's in China

[@babakkamali3506]

I think that should be 3.7 Million Tons, but not Pounds. 3.7 Million pounds = 18500 Tons

[@suleymandisci5767]

Why aren't sweet potatoes machine-harvested like potatoes in Idaho?

[@1heRai]

I don't like sweet potatoes very much but my mother used to make cakes from them.

[@jeanmeslier9491]

My family were migrant farm workers in the 1930s and 1940s. Picking cotton was horribly hard work. A lot of the little kids had small cotton sacks. Everyone in the family worked.
Here in North Texas, I observed a farm along a road I traveled almost daily. One year the government clamped down on Mexican illegal migrants. That year the farmer had planted several different types of melons. The melons rotted in the fields, he couldn't get any Mexicans..
White Americans won't do farm work. Experiments have been done trying to get welfare recipients to work on farms. I believe it was green onions where Mexicans harvesting them were making $400 to $500 a week. A good factory job at the time paid $200 to $300 a week.
We had a farm in Arkansas. One year I raised a sweet potato that weighed a little over 14 pounds.
One of the soybean farms appears to be using no-till farming. That means the field is not plowed after or before planting. Several restorative crops are planted too heal the land. Then the soybeans are planted. This saves the farmer many thousands of dollars in fuel costs and equipment usage.
When my Mother was a girl, schools closed during planting and harvesting, so the children could work. When I was in school, school didn't close but farm kids were excused absences.
There are different varieties of sweet potatoes. Some are better for baking and eating, others make better pies and cooked food. I noticed one farm where a red sweet potato was being harvested. These have the best flavor and are good for all usage.

[@diligentdavey]

Arkansas is NOT pronounced like Kansas, with an Ar sound in front of it. Rather, Arkansas is pronounced as Ar-kuhn-sah. kuhn uses the short form of U, & SAS is pronounced the same as the word SAW,, which has the short sound of ah, like the first part of the word AWESOME.

[@kitakitzFarm]

ARKANSAS is pronounced Ar-Can-Saw. Thank you for your beautiful video and narration. I shared it with everyone I know.
