  • Idaho Potato & Barley Harvest near Tetonia - Grand Teton Mountains
    In this video I am out in an Idaho Potato Field. This field is located just north of the town of Tetonia Idaho and on the West Side if the Grand Teton Mountains.
    My wife and I took a recent trip out west and traveled through Yellowstone National Park then down to Jackson Hole Wyoming. After spending the night in Jackson we headed on over into Idaho and I was able to video this farm as they were digging potatoes in this field. This field had a pivot on it for irrigation and they had spring barley planted in the corners of the field. This was a great video opportunity as they were digging potatoes on the irrigated circle another crew was harvesting the spring barley. Later in the day I was also able to do another video east of here that was harvesting (digging) sugar beats. After this day we headed down to Utah where I met my son to go Elk Hunting with him in the mountains in Northern Utah.
    The potatoes in this field were an Idaho Red Mini Potato.

    Great video. I really like hearing the natural sounds, instead of a bunch of music.

    I grew up in Shelley Idaho in the late 70’s early 80’s and worked on my friends farm during harvest. Shelley is home of the Russet Potato and Spud Days. Oh how I love and miss the smell of the dirt and spuds as they are coming out of the ground and stored in the sheds. So much has changed since then. Many people supplemented their incomes running equipment and picking on the harvester. That was dangerous work that ended with lots of missing fingers and arms. To see a modern version with one person operating is amazing, they are complicated machines and the work is very unique compared to most harvesters. Thanks for sharing the Idaho potato and sugar beet harvest.

    This is the first time I have seen anything like this. About 10 miles from us one farm grew potatoes for Frito-lay on contract. And I never realized how they dug them. Now they no longer do contract work but make their own Potato Chips in house. Thanks for showing this video. And I like your new intro format.

    Man o man I grew up in Fremont County ID things have really changed the way they dig potatoes. This is one of the things I really miss about Idaho was the potato harvest the smell of the potatoes going in the storage cellars I can only imagine that is probably different now as well , Fremont county is still just a little north of here but we played the in basketball

    Need to come south away from the seed farms and see the big boys roll. We put two 6 row crossovers infront of the digger so we can dig 16 rows every time across the field. Keeps the chains loaded and reduces bruising. Also less time with a boom in the truck bed.

    🇬🇧We would dig one row at a time with maybe a dozen people in the harvester. 56 lbs paper bags would be thrown on maybe a 4 ton trailer behind a FIAT 780, the 1/2 ton truck, or the somewhat uncommon straight 6, long wheel base, Landrover. All day, everyday in the summer spuds were carted into the nearby seaside town where at the same time we would carry bags in the rear door, people were walking out the front door with their fish (you could see the harbour from the chippy) and chips. Really, we all hated holiday makers🇬🇧 7:03

      Yes I understand that, I said backside as a reference reason being most people only see the Tetons from the Wyoming side (East Side) I've been on both sides of the Tetons many times but I've never found a place on the west side to get the view like you can on the east side. Again this was only a reference but thanks for pointing that out.
