Garlic Production - From Harvesting to Packing

- California is the leading producer of garlic in the United States, producing nearly 100% of this culinary vegetable. Garlic production takes time, thought and care, especially as the crop takes nearly 9 months to grow from seed to harvest. In this video, we will see examples of both hand and mechanical harvesting of garlic, and how the bulbs are subsequently processed into cloves or kept whole for retail sale.

Thank you to all involved for the great video! I see more good things on your channel to devour! lol I appreciate the detailed and forthright information, esp. about the bins, the separation processes, but really from start to finish it was value-laden, to use a term. Thanks again!
Fantastic video. Patsy is very knowledgeable and generous to share!
Very hard work. It took me like 10 days with 3 to 4 workers to clean 1 tonne of garlic. I cant imagine doing it on field because of rain and sun exposure
Older video I know , but I wish we here in northwest Ks had more C.R. Garlic , but most stores have the same Shurfine supplier , and Garlic thats imported. When I used to drive truck all over , I was in Gilroy area picking up equipment a couple times , once during festival but I didnt get to check it out. Casa De Fruita was a neat place I parked overnight first trip , and had a great meal with all area fresh products. Want to get out there with the wife sometime and look around. We both Love Garlic.
It's best & helpful
Very interesting
I m going to do garlic plantation , then paste in Kashmir
9 months? Only 90-110 in the Philippines..
We product and cultivation huge garlic in my 10 dcml of land. But in Bangladesh only manual and hard working is possible to product garlic. After seeding we mulching whole field by strow and smooth function intercultural practices. Thanks to watching.
How u control weeds🤔
Thank god UK got rid of piece payments absolutely crazy pay them them a living rate per hour working cheers 🍻
You won't see that in the USA!
If you don't pay piece rate for harvesting like this you'll never get your crop picked before it rots. The faster a person works the more money they make.
I like the productivity incentive, as long as the rate rewards excellence, and doesn't penalize good workers. when the rate is too low, it creates poverty and hardship and is actually used as a tool of oppression. it creates a desperate, forcing atmosphere.
I love garlic I sweat it

Thank God for Mexicans, ey? It'd be great to see a garlic co-operative owned by its workers. Anyone know of a co-op garlic producer?
There is a high quality Egyptian garlic.
I'd like to make a factory like this in Egypt, and garlic is abundant, and I'd like to have an American investor with the know-how.
@hector nadal saluton, kiel vi fartas
@@user-ue6xh3sg2x I will invest in your garlic factory.
Sir my dream is to become garlic farming in your industry
I want to feed my family iam a poor
You can do it!
Their harvest methods are very primitive. There are machines that will do all of the digging, picking up and removal of the tops in a single pass.
Dougal Munro you have to dry it first
@@GD15555 For premium market prices, you can't compare mechanical harvest to hand labor. Hand labor provides a superior product.
First, I tip my hat to the Christopher Ranch people, whom I assume know every machine used on the market commercially. Also, respect to UC Davis, CalPoly, and the several other great schools involved in this production, some are global leaders. If the Christopher family were missing something, those well credentialed folks might be the ones to mention it first. Now all that said, I agree with you.
I was surprised how many passes they gave it. Each time I thought we were at the end, they went one more step in the same line. Two topping passes? Two passes to dig? Strikes me as odd lol But I don't see the issues as closely as they do, and maybe they save processing hours or can't defray the cost of new machinery yet, idk. Maybe the savings are counter-intuitive.
How about the hand harvest? Can you improve on that? That clipping by the bucket thing is really used all over for so many root crops, and it seems so inefficient to me lol Writing that to you just gave me a new idea, so sorry, I won't mention it here lol A solution to that part of hand root crop harvest (primary de-topping) would be a boon to farmers and workers.
@@GD15555 do you mean the hand harvest? It lies there to dry? I think he meant the mechanical harvest part, not 100% sure.
But roots...
Most of the garlic in the USA is imported from China.
Congratulations in using manual labor. Whatever “sensitive”people say, if there are people willing to do it, they have no other choice, your are feeding their families! “sensitive”people actually starve people by choosing machinery.
Is there a boarder deal that farmers like?
The audio editing in this video is straight garbage 🗑
Minimum wage....You should be ashamed of yourself!
