I'm eating peanuts in front of my computer, suddenly has this urge to find out how it's harvested or made, then... this.... youtube at midnight random moments..
I had some boiled peanuts in Texas and am ready to turn my backyard into a peanut farm!!!! Feed our local Vegans and Vegetarians and maybe we can recruit some more 🙂✌🏼
I'm only guessing that at over half of people who enjoy peanuts (in any form or as an ingredient in many products) do not have a clue about the how they're grown or harvested. This was a very informative video ... Thank you..!!
This just showed up on my You Tube feed. Best layman's explanation of any harvester I've seen. Subscribed because of that. So much to learn, so few good teachers. Thanks.
A very informative video, during the 1960's we used to plough the peanuts out with a "tiller" with speciel blades, packed on land like a round bee hive, let them dry for weeks and then used a "Slattery" machine to get the nuts from the plant, good video about new technology -- excellent!!
Thank you, I worked in the peanut fields when i was younger, I was trying to explain to my 10 year old son about peanuts, your video did a GREAT job of explaining to him. Kept his attention all the way through the video. Thank you
A very good up close film footage and a clear-cut explanation about peanut harvesting. All business and that's how I like it. I appreciate farmers and farm technology in my mind while shopping in grocery stores.
tobacco72 Than you for you your comment / compliment, farming is a hard business and alot goes into it. Please share and Subscribe, How Tobacco is harvested and process is to be made this fall. Msfirefighter662
I have come from parents that farmed. They raised tobacco which was and still is a very hands on crop. A lot of fiscal labor. I am sure peanuts back in the day were very labor intensive as well. The point I want to make is that our school systems never show young people how things are harvested with today's machines. So that younger generations get to learn and see how things are done now day's, on a farm. No they see a picture most likely of a farmer with a two bottom plow working his you know to death. I can see why their are know new people becoming farmers. This was a very good video and some young person may very well get interested in growing crops. Driving large equipment and earning a good living. We do not all beat our drum too do the same job as everyone else. I became interested in wood working. I became a master stair maker. I even was a teacher for 20 years teaching at a technical school. I taught cabinet making, and construction. I still never got out of farming I raise Arabian horses and that caused me to buy land and guess what I grew hay for the horses I raised. I also taught and farmed at the same time. Today it is really to bad that our schools do not show students what else they can become instead of turning out a person that really could find a interest in farming. I am 73 now and as I watched this video what wrote popped into my head. Thanks for reading.
For a guy that eats a lot of Peanut Butter (even making Peanut Sauce for meats), - it's about time I finally see how Peanuts are harvested. Imagine 100 years ago...a lot of work. Good Vid...Thanks! --- M.S.A.
Awesome video! I've been wondering for years where peanuts come from... I mean I knew they came from the ground and a plant, but I had no idea so many peanuts came from one single plant, and that a specific type of tractor was designed to remove the vine and collect the peanuts which is a genius idea. Fascinating stuff!
We try to take the good with the bad as long as they are still family friendly comments. Thank you for your understanding and enjoyment of the video. Thanks for the comment, Please Share & Subscribe.
The best smell in the world other than a peanut oil plant..................fresh dug peanuts. Been smelling both for almost my entire life. I now am in Barbour County Alabama. Moved here from Randolph County Ga.
Thank you so much for posting this! I have been reading a book on peanuts and peanut butter that explains a bit about the harvesting and production process, but I had a very difficult time understanding what was going on in the fields or how the machines worked. (No doubt due in large part to the fact that I have zero farm experience.) I really appreciate your taking the time to show this and explain it clearly. Thanks!
Thank you for posting this video. My 9 year old son Aaron asked me here in New Hampshire as we were eating peanuts..."Where do peanut's grow and how do you harvest them?" Great video! If you ever get to New Hampshire we will be more than happy to show you how to make Maple Syrup!!!! Thanks again.

Thanks for the video my son was learning about farms and we had seen as peanut field here in Mississippi and wondered how it was harvested. Your video was very informative thank you for all the hard work.
This is a great video! We farm/ranch in Kansas and even though our lives are centered around ag, it’s amazing how much we don’t know about other industries. My kids especially loved this video!
Thank you sir for taking the time and informing us how the process works. You made me a smarter person. Ive been to a pineapple farm in Maui and that was cool too but my son asked me about how peanuts were harvested and here we are.
Someone told me that peanut was not a plant. I wanted to engage in a conversation with her but she is a dietitian speaking to another patient and I didn't want to get involved. I will direct her to your website. I enjoyed this educational video and will also show my grandson. He loves peanuts.
very good video in showing the implementation of different equipment hope you bring more videos of growing peanuts planting and harvesting... have a great time
jean rivera Thanks for the comment, I do not have any plans to bring any more peanut vids, as I do not live in that area anymore. My new location has tobacco farms and I may be able to learn about that process.
too much dirt and dust to use a lot of chain or sprocket lube. only makes the equipment wear faster. the bearings for such are either sealed or greased almost daily.
this video interested me for I was a lift driver at "Silgan" a plant in Montreal which seemed (to me) to make every bottle and jar of Kraft Peanut butter and salad dressing on this Planet, and I loved it
As being from the north I've never been around these crops, so seeing how the stuff works is interesting, given its not harvested the same as where I'm from
1. How many years has this type of Harvester been around ? 2. Is there a GPS non tractor driven Combine type Harvester around ? 3. What do you do with bailed materials ? Bedding ? Fuel ? Feed ?
what a great invention and thanks for explaining how everything works. My first time at seeing how the harvest is done. I live southern Ontario Canada they used to crow lots of peanuts here but I am not sure if they do now.
Thanks for sharing fruitful video. It is said that earthnut must be protected constantly. Could you tell me how it should be protected? Thanks in advance...
Very informative video. If it start to rain alot for days after u have flip them over, what u do? Will this rain for days make something with quality of your peanuts?
my chickadees juncos sparrows all the small birds i feed peanut pieces best fun for little money watching bird behavior, them peanuts travel a long way to my house thanks
It’s really sad that while I live in California. My relatives and I have 70 acres of land in Evergreen Alabama and can’t figure out what to do with it. A family member lack of management skill he cut all of the timber and nothing is left brush and weeds. This is something we should be thinking of. Although 70 acres is not a lot of land, it’s better than nothing. Sad to see it undeveloped and decades of sitting dormant.
That's nuts , get a neighbouring farming to put it to work for you. First get an agricultural consultant onto the site to advise you of what is best to do with that land in the long term. 70 acres is a very reasonable size of turf on a global scale and if managed well could be VERY productive. There are people that live off a couple of acres by growing a valuable crop.
Waste it? I would think that adding it back to the soil would be better than scooping it up to make bails. It's always amazing to see a crop that can grow in sand without any topsoil.

It’s really sad that while I live in California. My relatives and I have 70 acres of land in Evergreen Alabama and can’t figure out what to do with it. A family member lack of management skill he cut all of the timber and nothing is left brush and weeds.
This is something we should be thinking of. Although 70 acres is not a lot of land, it’s better than nothing. Sad to see it undeveloped and decades of sitting dormant.

Well just rent your land to a farmer, that is all you really have to do.
That's nuts , get a neighbouring farming to put it to work for you. First get an agricultural consultant onto the site to advise you of what is best to do with that land in the long term. 70 acres is a very reasonable size of turf on a global scale and if managed well could be VERY productive. There are people that live off a couple of acres by growing a valuable crop.
Sounds like lack of land management skills runs in the family
