Thanks so much for checking out our channel! MY name is Jim and I love music, I’m 35 and I enjoy long walks on the beach.For real I love the BEACH.I met my wife of 13 years on a cruise ship and we have 3 GIRLS. Age's 8,4,1. Trust me, I got the shotgun ready for when they start bringing boys home.I was born and raised on a Peanut and Cotton farm in north FLORIDA. My dad started this farm 45 YEARS AGO. As a kid I always loved cameras and was making random videos throughout my childhood.So i've decide to get back to my roots.I hope you enjoy the videos! PLEASE SUBSCRIBE------
I cant believe this man...amazing ..a community relation from farmers..a good example..God bless you all guys..
I like watching yall pick peanuts. When I was a kid I loved picking peanuts in the summer, but we did it a lot different. I would sit on the tailgate of the truck and hold on, lean over and grab a peanut plant, pull it up, shake it and throw it over into the truck. We were done when the truck was full. Take them to the house and pull them off the vines. From there they were laied out to dry some before bagging them to sell.
It's cool seeing how these crops are harvested . Enjoy your videos .
Thanks for the great job guys. I wish everyone was aware of the hard work farmers all year long. We do love our peanuts and peanut butter and jelly.
Thank you for sharing your harvesting techniques!
Thanks Zelda
Great video. Fun to watch along. Thanks for doing what you do.
thank you to all farmers
Hahahaha I never seen this in my life where you can take your whole family to work with you this is just wonderful 😊 God bless you farmer hehehe I love it! Cowboys and farmers are my hero's
Great video love the peanut action it's that time of year again!
This machine is a bit scary ha, keep arm and legs inside ride at all times..
Love to see the family in the cab of the harvester this is what farming was all about
Those kids are SO cute!!
I absolutely love your 4960. Spent a lot of hours running one. Braking land to digging peanuts. A lot of acres covered!
Heck yeah, great strong tractors! My dad had 3 back in mid 90’s.
When I lived in Haines City, Fl., I heard people speak like this and I didn’t understand a word they said: real Floridians, salt of the earth, great people.
Y'ALL ARE DOING AN AWESOME JOB, thank you for sharing your video with us....
Thanks for the video. Long time since I heard "just a grunt "
Some of the best content! Thanks and keep it coming!!
Thanks!!
Thanks for the great job guys
Awesome video. Me and son love watching yalls videos. Can’t wait for the next one
Thanks Parker
This must be the best part of a farming job. It seems relaxing to kick back in a GPS guided tractor and do some plowing or picking and enjoy some alone time
Enjoyed it ! First time seeing peanuts being harvested.
Enjoyed the video,man.Good luck and good health to you and your family.
Goddess Ceres resides here. Happy to see agriculture with family. 👍
Excellent presentation fellows, I had know idea, thank you for what you do. Cheers Guys
I have to watch you,because you are close to my old Alabama home in Dothan.Makes me Home sick. Be safe
Watching from Saskatchewan Canada cool seeing how you grow alot of different things then we do here
good job and thanks for sharing
I just love your videos thank you so much for putting your videos on here I’m at 62-year-old woman and I’m learning new things and I really really love your videos they’re very educational
Thanks Alice!
Great video thanks for sharing
I need a 55 gallon drum of them peanuts. I eat about that many in a year.
Great video. Looks fun but slow going for sure. Great video. Love the energy you got about doing the day to day jobs on the farm.
Thanks for watching!!!
I did the same thing but on a jd combine rock box doing beans
Came from The veggie boys! Gotta support our farmers! God bless🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🥜
Raw salted boiled honey roasted I just love them peanuts 🥜 man 👍👍
From the south grew up on boiled peanuts. Live in the cold Great Plains now. This made me miss home.
I hear ya. I grew up in north Florida around the same area these guys live and now I live in Arizona
Nothin like peanut pickin time in Jackson County!
Guess I will respect the price of peanut better now! This is way to much machinery to maintain, wow, I thought being a corn farmer was bad, this is where you all need a metal for doing what you do. thank you from a peanut butter man who has always had at least one jar around every day of my life!
I grew up on a farm in Eastern New Mexico and my family still farms there. Our money crop was peanuts so this takes me back in time. Our diggers were different but the thresher looks the same. When the government started assigning peanut allotments it changed things quite a bit. They became more valuable and your allotment was worth some money too if you weren't going to plant peanuts one year for some reason. And if you were planning to lease somebody's farm you always made sure that their allotment was part of the deal. They grow a lot of corn now for silage now that all of the dairies have started buying up land and moving in from California. So there isn't so much emphasis put on peanuts today like there was 40 or 50 years ago. Yeah, I've been gone a long time now. We never got enough rain to ever take a chance on growing peanuts dryland either. There were some dryland farmers in the community but they always sold or leased their peanut allotments and mostly grew cotton and milo. I'm enjoying watching y'all harvest your peanuts, it takes me back and the memories are good memories. We worked some very long hours during harvest and everybody, even the wives were involved. As soon as woman married into our family they learned how to pull a peanut trailer!
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing. Peanuts has changed a lot, price has been bad for awhile. Too many people growing them and flood the market. Need to find more uses for them. Thanks for watching!
Amadas are great pickers. They will pick right behind the plow as well as three day old nuts. Have a neighbor who has two of the self propelled models as well as a tractor mounted one. All six row machines. I love running the picker. Started on two row Long machines then four row KMC now all six row Amadas.
Fun family farming! Love it. My hubby says we need some random 5711's from Keiffy!
Great video! More Captain Kyle!
Great video!
Picked a peck of perfect peanuts. Plus a few ton! Thanks
Luv my peanuts! Have a handful every evening.
Now, I have a greater appreciation for what it takes to put them in my hand.
Brings back great memories. Use to run a KMC combine with an unloading auger. Through a double handful of goobers in the cab and snack all day😄😄
I wish I had a big farm and was picking peanuts
I always wonder how they harvest peanuts 🥜. Thank you for being a peanut farmer, if it wasn't for guy's I couldn't enjoy my peanuts
Awesome Video!!
Years ago I read that boiled peanuts was one of the highest antioxidant foods. I believe that's because the skin is usually eaten when boiled. The pecan has the highest antioxidant content of any nut flesh.
Didn’t know that,good to know,love boiled peanuts.
I have operated a Lilliston Hi-Cap in the Leesburg, GA area. The Lilliston manufacturing plant was between Albany and Dawson. This brings back fond memories of a bygone era of peanut processing in the mid 70s to the early 80s. My dad was in the peanut buying/processing business from 1969 to the mid 80s.
Awesome thanks for sharing.
Field Rows Oh, and another thing. I have most definitely shoveled more than my fair share of land plaster. Not a lot of people know about that part of peanut growing. I don’t know if that is still done nowadays or not.
Thank you for sharing that very interesting🇺🇸❤️ i’ll be looking at football and eating peanuts🤣
Sounds fantastic,can’t wait,man.Kick off September 4.college.
Just a hint from an old man. Graphite is the best shit since sliced bread. I quit grease a long time ago!
I love peanut butter. Anything peanut is my diet. Thanks guys!
Man this just made me want to go n get a bag of peanuts like your at the baseball game!
Just gave you a huge 👍🏽 n follow brother
Thanks buddy!
I saw the old gold kist sign. Haven't seen that in a long time.
Great video man
On your GoPro you can pick between wide and linear
Glad to know that happens to other people besides me. I thought I would never get out the first time it happened to me.
Those blue pickers really shine in wet conditions. Hello from Geneva county
Well , Ill be. My family are Malones from Dothan , Alabama. Big peanut people. And North Florida.. The town of Malone, Florida is named after the sons
that came down from Dothan and started a bank there, many years ago. Wonderful. These are my kin !! Ill have to stop by and see them.
Wow this guy must be the best boss in Florida he's got the Best grease cert changer and the strongest farmer in the county
Team work makes the dream work !
Nice video.thanks
I said here and watch CZcams with your videos on and I really enjoy your videos thank you so much for your videos
Show would like to have a bushel of them green peanuts! I hope ya'll have a peanut boiling party! We had a bunch of them parties here in SE Jawjah while in high school years ago before all this fancy equipment came along! Fun times! God bless ya'll on this years harvest!
Wow pretty neat! Never seen that before! No peanuts here in Southern Manitoba!
That's forsure!
Great video
“Five or six acres for a test run”. That made me smile.
Had no idea growing and harvesting peanuts was such a capital intensive endeavor. Monster machines price is waaayyy more than peanuts. Corny, I know 🤪🤣
G'day great video
Wow amazing. Field rows I can remember when I fall in love with 🥜,s am from Jamaica living in South Florida. We don't have half as much nuts as you on the entire island.
I love Jamaica been their a couple times. Thanks for watching
@@FieldRows oh ok nice
Thank god for different content than the usual. Love to see how I gets my peanuts butters. How comparable is peanuts to corn?
Not even close
Just found you!! great looking family ! Looks like a 55 chevy bel-air in the shop. Iv'e had mine since I was 17. I'm 61yo now. Good for US, I say. Preserving history!!. Love from Alabama!!
Awesome yeah its my fathers 55
@@FieldRows How old is your dad? Fix those flats and DRIVE IT!!! Worst thing to do to an old car is let it set up. It was meant to be driven. Like an old guitar was meant to be played! Love to you guys!
Hello! Nice video. Greetings from Portugal.
Luís Nunes thanks !

I love boiled peanuts!
Cool peanut harvester
glad the yeild looks great man!
Thanks Wesley
no problem
I am getting dental work done. And your channel has made me the most hungry I think. Watched tons of food videos but something about just being able to pop a peanut in your mouth, I can't wait soon I will be able to again ! :) Thanks for the videos love your content it teaches me about farming which Im not so familiar with
Awesome Awesome video Jim I never seen how you harvest peanuts up close. My wife loves peanuts and not mine? Lmao! Hello from John Deere tec from California. That so cool👍
Thanks for watching Dustin
I like peanuts too
W8wk3
I see you’re from Fla. I was wondering and asked on other video. We grow peanuts around my area in SC, but not this year. Very little cotton or peanuts around here this year. Man probably 50% of our farmland around our 4 counties are laid out bc of rain this year. I’ve been farming 30 years and never seen a year with as much rain as we’ve had this year. Sucks. I don’t farm but 850 acres and 600 of that had to be put in preventive planting
Wow sorry to hear about all the rain. We have gotten over 3in since Friday, looking like we due for a lot more too. Thanks for watching!
Nice looking 55 Chevy you have there.
Thanks it’s dads
same thing happened to me with the door handle when i was spreading nitrogen. i had to climb in through the back for about 2 weeks and used vice grips on the door handle finally went to get the rubber piece and fixed it easy
getting job done :)
The land looked familiar, I have kinfolk in Cottondale and the white clay / sandy soil was a dead giveaway. I am over here to the west of you in Baldwin Co. AL, pretty much the same crop rotations. Peanuts, Cotton, Soybeans, Corn, and Winter Wheat. Keep on plowing.
You got it. We’re about 15 from cottondale
Last peanut farmer around my area went out about 20 yrs ago. Just about all them old fields are coastal Bermuda fields now.
Where are you from Greg?
@@FieldRows north texas. About 40 miles west of Fort Worth.
Very interesting 👍👍👍👍
Thanks jack!
I like this guy. More explaning and longer videos would be sick
Used to work on a peanut farm in Alabama and the worst job to me was changing the stripper fingers on the hustler peanut picker
Hustler pickers were before my time, my dad had a couple hustlers and lilistons back in 80’s. Thanks for watching!
@@FieldRows it was 81 and they had a lilliston as well
One of the best sounds in the farming world is hearing them peanuts hit that buggy out the picker
Agreed Brandon
The sea was my wife initial however she's passed away this is my phone now. I was to Albany Georgia yesterday saw them shut down cuz of rain. Don't know anything about peanuts I'm hay farmer over here is south of Gainesville
What states do peanuts grow in. This is really cool never knew how you harvested peanuts..thank you!
Southern mostly
Wow that 4960
Coming from Wisconsin where the corn and soybeans are ABOVE GROUND, I automatically cringe seeing y’all driving over the green. Funny how the mind automatically goes with what it’s familiar with...
1DirtyMutt thanks for watching! I have a uncle that likes in Ripon, WI
14:07 apperently doors often brake in this company :P
Hey Jim just saw weather up by you might be too late but if you were to disc fields now kill isects not sure if that is a practice for your farming model but help soil conditions
I love peanuts!
Your a good man Steven! The whole world should love peanuts! Best protein
One hard working man and his hard working crew! Good work. 👍👍
He olen the chains and greezen the universal joints...
Good Lord that's a lot of maintenance and my old spot in Florida it was a shrimp boat or an oyster boat that you don't fire up once a year let them maintenance that everybody forgot
We grow peanuts here in central Texas (Comanche County). We farmed peanuts this year with a $500/ton contract delivered. What are you able to get as a contract price in that area?
For the angle, linear is so much better
Yeah usually film in wide or super wide , linear seems to narrow.
It’s so cool to learn about peanuts and cotton, coming from a corn and soybean farmer so I don’t know anything about them 👍🏼😂
