Love the guy who comes in to shot 9:22 and scratches his back on a pole like bear.🤣
Lol. Notice that too.
Lmfao, good eyes. Probably the owner or something?
😁😄😂
Ur osm...tq
LOL! well spotted
This last standing peanut farmer is a legend.
May he live a 1000yrs.
his voice is amazing
I do not believe he is the last standing. Still mom and pop peanut growers here in North Carolina.
Amen
@@michellebarnhill5130 I think he is the last that grows , shocks and harvests the way he does , if I heard correctly .
Really hit me when he said he was the descendant of share cropers. I hope everything good in this world to this man
The scale of this production is nuts!
okay dude...
ur mom
Love the pun!
I bet these peanuts are roasted so well that once you open a package of them they start roasting yo house and yo car
Hahaha
Elijah is a true inspiration and one of the most realistic videos I've seen on CZcams in a very long time. He should be commended for keeping tradition alive...
Elijah is one of the most realistic videos you’ve seen on CZcams in a very long time and a true inspiration?
Wow the farmer has one hell of a voice!
My Granddad taught me how to use stackpoles to dry peanuts. You make sure all the roots and peanuts are on the inside next to the pole. Then you cover the top with just vines facing up or a tarp if you only have 3 or 4 poles. The vines will repel rain water and make sure the peanuts don't get soaked by rain while you are waiting for them to dry. That is the old,fashioned way of peanut harvesting. So surprised when Elijah broke out the stationary combine. Wow, that is a blast from the past. He is either a good machinist or he knows one. There are no parts for that machine. You have to make your own parts. Kudos to him for keeping tradition alive.
Thank you for sharing the information with us and thank your Grandad for teaching you! 👏May your Grandad RIP and he would be proud that the old fashioned way is still being used today! 🙏
It's not everyday you come across a video about Virginia peanuts. It's not everyday you come across a video about a peanut farmer not far from where I grew up in the middle of nowhere VA. Not only that, he's wearing a hat for the insurance company my grandfather used to work for and may have even been in business with him years ago. Small world.
Virginia Peanuts are a southern secret. Cool to see this man and rural VA get the exposure
too bad these are fried in cheap SEED oils that are so unhealthy so the company can save money...
The guy at 9:20 in the back scratching his back on the pillar... He's exuding dad energy.
That peanut farmer is a piece of treasure

Undertake an extensive reading program to better educate yourself

piece means : An item that is an instance of some type
Thus the peanut farmer is not an ITEM
Now turn to a diction-ary and study what an ITEM is
@@andrew_koala2974 you're rude
Go outside and touch some grass..@@andrew_koala2974
Great knowing that there are still great people out there like Elisha the farmer at the beginning of this video who know the value of working hard, wisely and traditionally. He really should be seen as a role model of what we can do if we want to.
Such a well-spoken farmer very intellectual also
Articulate.
And knowledgeable.
How ignorant do you have to be, to assume a farmers low intelligence?
You see the equipment farmers have these days? Million dollar machines.
I'd say farmers are significantly more intelligent and wealthier than you!
His voice and accent are so smooth
Amazing how well a black man can speak when he grows up around normal people. Ghetto culture has destroyed millions of people.
@@MarioGoatse the fact this is amazing to you shows you do not get out much stop allowing social media to define a whole race
I love the old skool peanut farmer gentleman doing it the old fashioned way
My brother is the last guy he works with 💕 the one who was canning the chocolate covered peanuts . I must say they are delicious!
Lucky, I bet he brings home plenty of goodies for you.
@Kaylan ..the one with the star tattoos??.. what do they represent, just curious..
@kaylandixon2092 Those LOOK delicious !! 👏👍😀
Did he come home like “look ma, I’m famous!” Lol
What an honor it would be to spend the day with Elijah. This man needs more attention he is a national treasure
My maternal grandfather was a peanut farmer in Gorman Texas from the 1930’s until the late 1970’s. Both my parents were raised in this peanut farming area. My mother and three brothers and two sisters worked the fields. An uncle raised peanuts two miles down the road. Visiting my grandparents on their farm is still some of my happiest memories.
That’s nuts!
As a born & raised Virginian, who’s had the Privilege of growing up on the Hubs peanuts, mostly only during Thanksgiving through New Years, who’s now in her 60’s, I have to say it’s been a lot of fun gifting people through the years, with these Amazing peanuts!!! Sometimes it’s just about impossible to find a gift for someone,for many different reasons we’ve All had to deal with. The Look on the First Time Recipient’s face, is Priceless when they open their present,& see it’s a stupid can of peanuts🙄,& they Try to act thankful for such a crud gift, as they’re probably thinking even a McDonald’s Gift card would have been Waaaay better!!! Some Will open them soon after receiving them, while others may take a month or two, to finally open them when they’re in desperate need of a quick & easy snack, but the end result has Always been the same-“OMGOSH!!! These peanuts are the Best peanuts I’ve Ever tasted!!! They look a little weird with those blisters, & I was thinking maybe they’d gone bad or something, but they smelled sooo good, so I tried one,& now I can’t stop eating them!!! Where can I get more?!?”…& then there’s the Next conversation about them finding out how pricey a can of these nuts are, meaning they’ve actually realized it Wasn’t a cheap or stupid gift after all!!! They are Worth Every single dollar to penny,& can be bought directly from the company, can be found in major grocery stores during the Holiday Season,& are easily found on Amazon.
Thank you for making this awesome video!!!🥰
An old lady offers the bus driver some peanuts, the driver happily munches on them. Every five minutes she gives the driver another handful and the driver accepts with a smile and keeps munching. The driver askes the old lady, why don't you eat them yourself? She replies, I can't chew, I have no teeth. The driver then asks, why do you buy them? The old lady replies, ooh, I just love the *chocolate* around them. 😃
Kudos to you for reading this whole thing.
That's an old ass joke
That is the real story of boiled peanut.
Elisha is the man!
Never knew how peanuts were grown, to be honest I never really thought about it. I think it’s great this gentleman is old school farming. If he retires from peanut farming he can always do late night radio, what an amazing voice.
Exactly, that voice is so radio!
I love Dan Does!!! As someone who works industrial industry I love watching other factories and how operators work
Industrial Industry LOOOL
I love these production tours, please keep it coming, great videos.
We appreciate Eater's dedication and effort in giving us the best content. May God bless them.
THIS IS AMAZING TO WATCH HOW PEANUTS GO FROM FIELD TO PACKING ❤
I have to admit I love watching your videos. I learn something new every time I watch them.
That guys farm should be a nut museum
That man has a radio voice if I've ever heard one. Wow hahaha. Also so cool never seen this progress done the original way.
Definitely an NPR voice telling some interesting story about peanut farming while you walk your dog.
Pop Son Peanut Farm
Dan: "Thank you so much for doing it."
I couldn't agree more, Dan.
I like this guy. What a great voice and personality.
Reminds me of Denzel Washington
I absolutely loved this film! The farmer featured at the beginning was epic, and he gave me hope. There are still good people in this world.
Fascinating. Very educational. Thank you for posting it.
Elijah is a gem!
8:40 Absolutely love the attitude of a person who's never worked on a continuous production line. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😓😓😓😓 Also love that old school Peanut Farmer.
Proud of you man.
This is the American way.
Thanks for farming like this. And glad you can make a living doing it.
No farmers, no food. Thank-you guys for the hard work. I truely appreciate everything you do.
We get Hubs at work for Christmas. Good peanuts
Truly excellent what this man has achieved and
continues doing what his ancestors did under
extreme and violent conditions of the landowners.
May he reap the rewards of his labor and enjoy his life.
This is the kind of stuff I subscribe for. More of this please!
Yes More Dan Does Episodes back to back
This peanut planting is very good planting technique and has a lot of fruit to be able to harvest.
I grew us in south Georgia. Pecans, peanuts, and onions Are ingrained In everyone that grew up in Georgia.
@9.24 spotted a bear scratch its back the old school way.
The farmer has a fantastic voice
Just plain old good work Mr. Barnes. Gotta preserve some things from yesteryear even if it takes a lot more time. Thanks from Philly.
Hay there! Just to let you know. My first job in 1960 was in a Planters Peanut store and had to learn the whole operation. A tall thin friend would get dressed up as Mr. Peanut and hand out three shelled peanuts to people walking past the store. Thanks for the memory!
I don’t think I ever wanted peanuts this badly
Excellent! Thanks for sharing and the best of luck. We're headed out to purchase Hubs!!
Elisha's voice would be insane as a narrator
This is legendary, I would love to shake his hand
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US THE BACKEND PROCESS OF HOW IT MADE
Something really special about this
This show is PERFECT! Keep at it :)
I'd love to hang around this farmer,I bet he's full of information, he's the backbone of the nation
That peanut farmer deserves a statue, that was amazing
The part where the machine fails to fill the right amount of peanut into the tins is caused by some few factors: 1. If this machine has a PLC device then there is a rotary encoder attached to the motor responsible for opening to let the peanuts out. This encoder has a joint that attaches its spindle to the motor for opening. The joint should be checked because it has loosened or broken. Can be replaced.
Tbh, it shocked me they need to check every can if it was not too much. Seems like they could fix that instead of putting a person to do it.
We never had any machines for peanuts but just an ox drawn plough and hand hoe. And the harvest sometimes will be over 3 tons
...this is incredible ...love this gentlemen
Now I GOTTA find me some Hubs peanuts! Never heard of ‘em. 😋
Yeah I hadn't heard of them either, until this video. They are probably more of a "regional brand"..
Sitting watching this video eating some hubs. They really are better. We order them online every holiday season, don’t think I’ve ever seen them in store.
@@MRSketch09 probably regional in retail or at least only in specialty nationwide. My family has ordered them online for my entire life. They are worth it!
Frying isn't healthy, tho.
@@earlysda Thank you Captain Obvious. We all know that. Please ratchet back on being so judgmental, especially on a documentary video that isn't claiming EAT THIS ONE THING AND LOSE WEIGHT FOREVER!
This video gave me hives, great work!
Looks like you had fun making this segment. I bet the people enjoyed your company for the day, bet their still talking about your visit, "Bless His Heart".
love this video, keep it up!
When I saw the chocolate mix with the peanuts on the conveyor I lost it……..unfortunately I have diabetes 😢😢😢…looks frigging dehliciouss
Greatest respects to the proud peanut farmer Mr. Elijah. Thank you Sir, stay blessed.
I love these series with Dan. 👍
Elijah? More like Elilegend
This was a really clean process big up to the manufacturer company
I remember being at my grandmother's house and she had peanuts planted. It was so cool ripping them off the ground and eat them
This is the coolest thing I’ve seen all year
Amazing work! My hat goes off to Elisha for all his hard work! Maintaining that picker must be quite the challenge!
Hubs peanuts are truely delicious! Glad we live within an hours drive of them. I use to go to the Hubs house in Sedley and buy 3 or 4 tins of peanuts. Being that they were only open M-F, I'd take a Friday afternoon off and drive over there. Now they have the Vine store in Franklin so we go over on Saturday when our supply gets low.
much respect to the peanut farmer👍
I love green peanuts! If you ever get a chance at green Georgia Runners, they're actually sweet and perfect for boiling.
Georgia Runners are the best peanut ever.
I may be a little biased, born and raised here in southern Georgia amongst all the peanut farms.
thats a true American right there. what a great story. being in NC, I might just have to drive up there and visit and buy some peanuts from him. Legend!
he's so great at growing peanuts, and i love that his family did the same,
Loved this episode.
Wow! Looks like you had fun making this video.
My peanut production is still in its infancy stage. I bought 20 seeds, 6 of which grew into plants, from which i extracted 26 seeds, from which grew 20+ plants. 2 years to get to the next phase....Next spring I will be planting about 50 plants. Maybe next fall I can enjoy a handful of peanuts. Lol!
All for the love of growing, and learning lots along the way. Thanks for this video!
yo mama had fun making ya
@@tabp8448 ask yo mama if had fun making ya
@@tabp8448 yo mama grammar freak?
chicklet answer me is yo mama grammar freak??
I am a huge fan of peanuts but had really no idea this much was involved?? Wowo thanks for the video
Terrific video, thanks
Can Elisha please narrate everything?
Love this!
I had no idea what this process entailed. Thanks for this video
I don't know why, but this made me smile! I suddenly felt happy I think because of the Heart put into peanuts like Hub!
7 years and 10 months... Lester Freamon would be proud
Elijah has an amazing voice!
I feel like that farm owner can become a great singer
Hub's peanuts are amazing. The best you'll find anywhere.
Always a big fan of D's
I love that they add the little key. That is handy and considerate. Very cool touch.
Also, imagine the entire nation's supply got slowed down when that guy tried weighing the cans. XD
Im from Richmond. These peanut cans are every where.
Proud man with an amazing family history.
What an amazing voice this peanut farmer has.
That machine should be the star of a horror movie.
this is a fabulous video
I love this. Good for him
loved that you showcased elijah's hard work and skill
Very interesting. I knew nothing about peanuts apart from the great taste. Every day is a school day. Thanks
A man to follow and respect
Glad i watched this.
Beautiful happy to see last man standing
