    I've decided to not try to "win the algorithm", and only make videos about what I'm genuinely interested in. Thank you very much for watching this video about Pecans. If you'd like to support a guy in Alabama making videos about (among other things) Pecans, please consider supporting here: www.patreon.com/smartereveryday. I send literally every Patreon supporter a really cool baseball with a Smarter Every Day logo on it.

And I asked anybody in nuts farming business to contribute and correct. Yet you insist on your superficial impressions of just looking at his polite forced smiles only.

      The way food gets from the field to your plate is *_NEVER_* mundane. To even so much as imagine that process is mundane is shortsighted and ignorant. Son, you literally *_OWE_* your life to farmers. You likely wouldn't have even been born, nor your parents, without farmers. And even if you had been born, your life would be significantly shorter without farmers. Because you would have to do it all yourself, and it is hard work, real hard work. The work is so hard, doing everything yourself, that it takes a massive toll on the body, significantly shortening a lifespan.

    I spent many days picking up pecans on haves with my grandfather when I was a kid. We would pickup literally 100's of buckets every year and half what we picked up with the landowner. We would then take them to be cracked. We would spend days sorting and bagging every one before thanksgiving in 2lbs bags. My grandfather would give away most of them to people to cook pies and sell what he could and would buy us kids Christmas presents. My fondest memories were picking pecans, grapes and berry's from the side of the road. It was such a wonderful time in my life. Thanks for sparking these memories with this video.

    I love and admire (and envy) the relationship you have with your dad. And, really, I admire, and envy the dad you’ve got.

    Sir, thank you so much for this video! I loved your term "we are moving from knowledge to understanding." So true! I love pecans but I never considered that there were so many varieties of Pecans and them having different tastes. But that slow motion portion of the Pecan Tree shaking was phenomenal! You have a new subscriber =).
