I grew up in a pineapple plantation in Hawaii and worked in the summer picking pineapples with the boom shown is 17:27. It was hard work for 6 days a week and the pay wasn't that great but it was the best job available for high school and college kids at the time. For my small town they would convert the school rooms into dormitories for workers coming from the big city of Honolulu and even some mainland kids. My parents made sure that all their kids went to college because he didn't want us working in the fields all our lives like they did. Sadly most of the plantations closed in the early 70's and all the jobs went to Costa Rica and the Philippines.
It's interesting how little we think about the produce that we eat and how it gets from the farms to our tables. We love pineapples when they are in season. I usually look at the tags on the pineapple and it's been a long time since I've seen one from Hawaii. We kids picked potatoes in the fall when I lived in Maine. School got out for a week and basically ALL of the kids picked potatoes for the local potato farmers. It was hard work, but also fun when you were working next to all of your school friends. It was basically how we paid for clothes or other things that we wanted as young people. Now that work is all done by mechanical harvesters. It was the sad end to a long tradition, but necessary for potato farming to remain economically viable.
It's incredible how hard work shapes our stories. Your experience on the pineapple plantation and your parents' emphasis on education are inspiring. It's unfortunate that the plantations eventually closed, impacting the community.
I grew up on an apple orchard in Washington state, spending my summers picking apples from sunrise to sunset. It was hard work, six days a week, but it was the best job for high school and college students in our small town. My parents pushed us to go to college, not wanting us to toil in the fields forever. By the 1980s, most of the apple orchards had closed, and the work had moved to Mexico and Chile.
*I have a similar experience with pineapple farming in Hawaii. It was hard work, but a valuable experience. My parents emphasized education to avoid a life in the fields. It's unfortunate that most plantations closed, impacting jobs.*
I worked in a chicken processing plant one time. The majority of workers were Filipino. As a white male I was humbled by this peoples work ethic. I came to appreciate all the more how much my country relied on people who are willing to do, out of necessity, the menial jobs most would not do.
In the 1970's we set aside 12 acres to plant and harvest tomatoes. My 50 year old uncle could pick 22 crates a day (full wooden crates were HEAVY). I was 16-17 and he always picked 2-3 more crates' than my best effort could produce.
So in the arid Central Valley farmers complain about a lack of water… to grow almonds… at one gallon per nut… or apricots… at three gallons per fruit. Somehow I have difficulty feeling bad for them.

Fun fact: the “Ore-ida” potato brand name got its name from the fact that its main production plant (now Kraft-Heinz) is literally located right on the Oregon/Idaho border in Ontario, OR. Hence, OREgon-IDAho.
Better title would be "How American Agriculture is devastating to environment". The first example at 0:45 is very bad for trees, the shakers are destroying the trees forcing to plant new trees very often. Second example with sugarcane ar 2:37, this is one of the world worse water demanding production plant, making water crisis year after year more difficult. 4:16 Cotton, let's keep going with the bad examples: Cotton is using massive amount of chemicals to be grown, contaminating waters and ground around. Same for pineapple at 9.30, lots of chemicals. Nothing to be really proud here. at 7:10 this shrimp fishing technique is using a trawl, everyone knows today how bad this technic is, catching anything on its way. Conclusion: NO, AMERICA IS NOT THE EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW
It's natural to admire the advancements in American agriculture. Each country has its unique challenges, but sharing knowledge and practices can lead to progress.
Much of my family farmer cotton in Chandler, AZ starting in the mid-1920’s. Then it was mostly hand work but by WW2 was all machines. Today it’s all hiways, homes and stores.

These are very impressive data , but not nearly as impressive considering the US national debt , wich currently stands at around one hundred thousand billion dollars .Imagine how many potatoes you can buy for that money .

Great agricultural technology. My country lacks such things
Do you not have such machines in your country?
Seeing the harvest is a reminder of the incredible resources that the US has to offer.
I have never seen how to harvest cotton before, the cotton bales look so beautiful
Watching these harvesters work makes me appreciate the hard work of American farmers.

How do you feel about harvesting agricultural products in the US?
I live in Idaho and currently grow 25 acres of potatoes
@hello HAYAT10 how are you doing?
We used to grow 30 acres of potatoes in Idaho, in the harvest season, in a bustling field
*I have a similar experience with pineapple farming in Hawaii. It was hard work, but a valuable experience. My parents emphasized education to avoid a life in the fields. It's unfortunate that most plantations closed, impacting jobs.*
Thank you for giving us a better look at American agriculture
What do you think about American agriculture?
As someone who lives in Idaho, I'm proud to have the most potatoes in the country
Have you ever come to see people harvest agricultural products?
These days, I just love watching videos about American agriculture.
What impressed you most about American agriculture?
These harvesters are a great example of how American farmers are contributing to global food security.
Thanks to the dedication of every generation of farmers, we have fresh food every day
Have you seen any agricultural harvest before?
Grateful for farmers' dedication! 🌱🙏
It's inspiring to see how American farmers are using technology to feed the world.
Wow, I've never seen so many bales of cotton, the harvest is so satisfying
The almond machine in California have air condition drivers don t get dirty.
Thank you for helping me better understand America's great agriculture
The technology of harvesting agricultural products in the US is very modern, except for strawberry farms
We need to be grateful to the farmers in the United States, they produce so much food
I worked in a chicken processing plant one time. The majority of workers were Filipino. As a white male I was humbled by this peoples work ethic. I came to appreciate all the more how much my country relied on people who are willing to do, out of necessity, the menial jobs most would not do.
Never disrespect the farmer with your mouth full
Or even all those immigrants, who flog their hearts out for the farmers. God bless the workforce!!!
Yeah they do produce but they don't harvest that , Mexicans do !!!!!!
"accounting for 20 percent of sugar cane production"", I think you mean sugar production!
In addition to almonds, California has many other fruit farms
Tulay Mert
That's probably why a lot of folks refer to California as the "Land of Fruits and Nuts" !!!!
Not gonna lie, as a farmer I think the coolest crop to grow would be cotton! How many t-shirts per acre did my crop run? Lol
Do you live near a cotton farm?
@@tony98discovery no I’m way up north, in Canada
@@4loops43 Are there large cotton farms in Canada?
My sister and I have a better understanding of how Americans do agriculture thanks to this video
Great to see agriculture thriving in the US!
The scene of potato harvest is extremely impressive
How do you see the potato harvester?
Where was the video of the thumb nail photo of covered harvesting?
The pineapple harvest is very labor intensive.
Have you worked at a pineapple farm?
@@tony98discovery Nope. Just wondering about thumbnail harvesting
We used to work on a tomato farm in Ohio, farming in the United States is very scientific
In the 1970's we set aside 12 acres to plant and harvest tomatoes. My 50 year old uncle could pick 22 crates a day (full wooden crates were HEAVY). I was 16-17 and he always picked 2-3 more crates' than my best effort could produce.
Do you still work for these farms now?
A job at an almond farm is very hard, there are few Americans who like to do this job
I really enjoy watching the process of harvesting agricultural products, please make more videos
Have you been to any farm in the US?
*Which harvesting process do you like in this video?*
It’s between cotton and pineapple. Both were interesting. I’d like to see how they finish processing cotton, I can’t even imagine how they do it! 🤔👍👍😃
I have been to the sugarcane farm in the harvest season, the sound of the machines is very relaxing
Farms in the United States are giving a lot of food to the world

Drink almond milk. It's better for the environment....
@@scotcoon1186 you mean nut juice? No thanks.
Where fid you get these numbers? I find it pretty hard to believe one gallon of water is necessary for one almond nut. Is it an almond pound?
It takes one gallon of water to grow a single almond which is part of the reason California is running out of fresh water.
Tree's also create oxygen and help combat climate change, why do you hate delicious almonds, they are a great source of protein and substain life.
Are you from CA?
@@tony98discovery I'm from the future.
We are running out of water because we don’t get rain…NOT because we grow almonds. Seriously!
@@barbaramiller8925 you live in California
I'm impressed with the way they harvest the potatoes
Have you seen a potato harvest before?
Unfortunately, the drought is dramatically reducing the amount of food grown here. Almost a million acres unplanted.
Hopefully agriculture will develop and the drought will end soon
I love watching how lobsters are harvested, please make a video about it
Yeah, I like lobster too and I'll be on a lobster video soon.
Yes I also need a video too
Watching this video, it is clear that American farmers are at the forefront of agricultural innovation.

The hard work of the harvest workers, this is why we need to be grateful to them
Especially as a lot are illegal migrant workers. Shh though , can’t let that get out Eh!!
Cheap labour!!!
Wow, forced labor, so inhuman, no human right, Anglo Saxon's legacy.
Why do you think this is forced labor?
I wish we could have more farms in the US to produce vegetables and fruits
How do you see the process of harvesting agricultural products of American farmers?
so dusty to harvest almonds Tony! u need to wear a mask... lol
As a farmer in Michigan, I understand the hardships that ranchers go through
What do you grow in michigan
