    The fact you took the time to thank the people that made this video possible for the “viewers” I appreciate it, the fact I can watch this with my son and we can learn together, then I can tune in and listen to Off The Husk and laugh my ass off drinking some cold beer. Then between the rows channel where me and my kids can enjoy moments your family generously share with the world not to mention you drive fast sometimes on a dirt track. I feel like I owe y’all a couple cases of beer for the laughs and family times I’ve gotten from your channels.

    When they built the water diversion around Breckenridge MN there were 2-3 four wheel drives in that 400 horse range pulling double pans scrapers in the black gumbo they didn't have any problems filling them ....direct mount scrapers load nice.

    This was a great series. For your next one I'm thinking Florida for orange harvest. Georgia for peaches and peanuts. Maybe see potatoes in Idaho. Wheat harvest on one of those big rolling hill farms in Montana/Idaho, etc. Anything besides corn and soybeans please! 🤣 Also, would love to see the differences between an organic farming operation and a conventional one.

    • @joshuapreusser2265
      @joshuapreusser2265 2 года назад +4

      Could also add cotton & pecans to the peaches & peanuts in either Alabama or Georgia - though cotton & peanut harvest might start to overlap with corn & soybean harvest in MN.
      I'd wager it'd also offer a different perspective on corn as most of the corn fields I've seen in northern Alabama look to be planted on 12-ish inch rows vs the wider 28in common in other parts of the country. There's also a growing number of vineyards/wineries....

  • @Dave_9547
    @Dave_9547 2 года назад +34

    Interesting to see you tour California agriculture, particularly the San Joaquin Delta area. Those islands are essentially reclaimed marsh land which is very rich and surrounded by water. The early ag pioneers built levees to keep the natural flooding out, pumped them dry and cleared the land. As you stated, many of them are actually below sea level, particularly as you travel west toward San Francisco and Suisun bay. There are two rivers that keep the salt water out, the San Joaquin and the Sacramento. It is an intricate system that has to be kept in balance by dredging and levee maintenance. Those soils are very deep from many thousands of years of natural vegetation decomposing from the annual flood/drying cycles. As the person you were talking to pointed out, they can grow many different crops there.

    • @Mudpuppyjunior
      @Mudpuppyjunior 2 года назад +3

      The interesting thing is how the whole delta is actually inland in the central valley and then the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers merge on the west end and empty into the bay in one channel at the Carquinez straits.
      Great waterfowl area too.

    Great video. Lived here all my life 'cept 2 years military.
    And I learned something new; the below sea level islands in the central valley.

    Awesome videos and really enjoyed all the interactions with the different farmers. Learned and saw things I had never heard of. Thank you!
