This is awesome. I've actually always wondered how this whole process works, this video is perfect in explaining every detail. Thank y'all for all these great old films you've transferred here. I love all of them.
A great behind-the-scenes story of the magnificent potato back when! Hard work was the norm, as depicted here in a fine UP film! Thank you SO much, and keep these historic films coming! We LOVE them! 😊❤
They'd have been given a lot more credit if not for the horrendous, unnecessary discrimination and hate mongering that held back so much potential. It really is true that a lot of people were very progressive and always have been, but the silent workers who gave us the homes we all live in and technology we use daily don't have time to stand on a soapbox, so sadly we only hear and see the politicians and hear of the social endeavors that frankly plagued most of history.
Considering they were improvising and inventing new processes and equipment to move improve yields all the way from seed to table. They had little of the knowledge we have now, so their minds had to work harder.
I’m 67 years old and I can remember my aunt took us to the Golden Arches when we were very young kids and that’s the very first time I had McDonalds French Fries. I’ve been in love since.
McDonald's fries STILL are the best or at least top 3. Even amid all the "health" foolishness, I'd find myself downing those fries to this day with a smile. they're kind of like what makes potato chips so good.
Every year dad would show up with a big 50 lb sack of potatoes in spring and say start cutting. Easiest plant to propagate and grow, a ten year old kid did it.
As a kid i gathered spuds in ireland. Nothing better than making home made chips every nite from one nice big spud that accidentally fell into my pocket
@ if it’s not done in a sustainable way we end up with foods with little nutritional value, and there are ethical concerns around GMO, and treatment of animals. There is a definite correlation between the increase of industrial farming in America and the skyrocketing obesity rate and associated diseases
We are still a country of hardworking people but the damn CEO's wanted more money so they moved the jobs overseas. It's asinine and should be punished.
It also used to be a country of wealthy or ignorant racists who destroyed all the attempts at making things and building better lives for everyone. Keep in mind the politics we see isn't new, it's just louder now because instead of looking inward at the problems of society, we turned a blind eye and blamed everything BUT the problems. You don't grow up greedy if you spent your childhood working on the fields, you grow up greedy if your wealthy parents ordered other people to do so while you sat comfy thinking you were going to inherit the WORLD once they died.
@@843Mixin-mn5vm As a matter of fact the answer is no to both questions and considering that comment was 3 years ago I don't remember why I made it. Guessing probably lack of PPE but who knows. I think I have cut myself once in the kitchen and considering I've been doing the majority of cooking for my family for better than two decades I don't think that's too bad. I was raised on a farm and have butchered cows, pigs, chickens, rabbits, and deer and never cut myself in those endeavors either. I think the take home lesson is don't make assumptions about someone based on a comment left on a video because we each process audio/visual information in different ways based on our life experiences and what not and that leads us to make sometimes irrational conclusions based on 1000 different things including how we are feeling that day or if we just had a argument with a spouse or child etc. We are all essentially the same and want the same things out of life. Thanks for your comment and have a blessed life.
Well, the heavily inbred "stock" potatoes grown strictly for fries and chips are fairly nasty (little/no food value, most of the food value is in the skin of the potato anyway and most "processing potatoes" are bred to have ridiculously thin skins so they are easier to process into fries and chips and stuff with minimal effort to peel and minimum loss from peeling-- "table potatoes" like Russets are bred with thicker skins but ridiculously large and starchy for "fluffy" baked potatoes and mashed potatoes and stuff like that). If you get "heirloom" varieties of potatoes or "colored potatoes" like blue or red or purple potatoes, which are more like the original potatoes found in the wild of the Andes mountains in South America where potatoes originated, those are much healthier. And you're right about the railroad... THE most efficient method of moving products overland... lowest cost and most fuel-efficient per ton-mile of cargo, mostly because steel wheels rolling on steel rails has the lowest rolling resistance and therefore the least friction and waste of energy, unlike pneumatic rubber tires rolling on concrete or asphalt roads... Later! OL J R :)
@@lukestrawwalker Variety doesn't matter. Chips are the only possible way to eat potatoes. The rest-baked, mashed, fried, French fried, au gratin, etc-are gross and taste like dirt.

People back in the olden days were smarter than given credit for.

As our civilization collapses, all we can do is point out how transphobic people were in the 1800s.

They had me at "potatoes unlimited"!!

13:31 That is closer than possible to the look of high-tier Wagu beef. My shenanigans-o'-meter is off the charts rn.
thank you

Hehehehe that's a funny way to put it
Industrial farming is a two edged sword ⚔️
Why?

One day in the future, Rimmer will become an emissary of the King of the Potato People.
2/3 rds of the labour you see in this video has been eliminated with technology, yet technology has improved the yield by 2/3.
I love films about spuds
Great dust bowl here we come. 3:05
Nice oliver hart paar 70's...
Nothing like a NY Steak with a Baked Russet Potato umm !
@14:57 This is why Grandma only had 3 fingers...
Phantom tractor driver at 23:43
Why don't you use a filter to get rid of the hiss noise?
Maybe you should send them one, or better yet start your own channel lol.
America used to be a country of hardworking people who made things.
We are still a country of hardworking people but the damn CEO's wanted more money so they moved the jobs overseas. It's asinine and should be punished.
@@Parents_of_Twins yup.
Thank you for nipping another possible "back in my day" post and a comment on how lazy people are nowadays too. 😂

Henry Ford said this would happen...
7:15 why does it have such a funny tone
Potato, the other white beet.
I wonder how many fingers were lost or scarred up cutting those spuds? Hell I wouldn't last a week without bleeding all over that place.
So I guess you've cut all your fingers off from working in the kitchen lol? Got to be a city slicker.

This is more like Potato Diseases Unlimited.
No small potatoes here
19:32 You can almost smell the DDT.
Hay Hoe I'm from Idaho.
Potatoe, poe-tat-toe!
Few overweight people out there doing that work.
Shut up dad.
ASD bait.
Pretty neat, but potatoes are disgusting. More importantly, shipment is by railroad, not hundreds of trucks.
