This is my hometown! I used to farm onions here with my grandpa and my dad! I wish I would have known I would have totally come to watch. THANK YOU MIKE.
I live very near here. Note the encroachment of new homes in the background. This area, Boise, Meridian, Nampa, is in one of the fastest population growth areas of the country. Every year fewer acres for onions, beets, potatoes, hops, etc…
Thank you mike for this onion harvest video first time i ever saw them harvesting onions . Really enjoyed this video.cant wait till you edit the other videos from out there.thank you for your hard work thank to the farms who are willing to share this information .
Another awesome video that you would never see on another channel, thanks, brother Don’t know much about onion farming, but it appears they had a awesome yield
Thanks for this video Mike. That area is my home. I farmed in the Ontario area for many years. This brought back memories. I will be watching for the other videos from there. I have been wishing that you or Jason would be able to get out there and get a bunch of videos.
We don't see harvesters that wide in the Netherlands. Mostly 2 or 3 row harvesters. I have family living in onion country in Zeeland province, every harvest season the smell of onions starts as soon as I leave the highway.
Great video Mike of the onion harvesting! It's amazing how many come off the belt into the truck. The machine does an awesome job cleaning them as well! Thanks for sharing this video with us along with your PRICELESS time and effort! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.
I used to actually top onions back in the 50’s in Pleasant Valley, Iowa. We used to get paid 12 cents per bushel basket. It was hard work but it was all we had to make some spending money and money for new school clothes in the fall. The onion fields are all gone now. The old farmers died off and the lands were turned onto industrial parks.
These folk dont worry about compaction while unloading on the go from the harvester into trucks. It should be the same for small graing such as wheat, unloading from the combine into trucks. The openers on the seed drills will take care of any compaction for the new seed to sprout.
Great video Mike but according to my knowledge this is only half of the harvest works because ahead of this unit there should be a machine who cuts the stalks and swath them so the loader that you showed us in this movie can pick them clean them and load them on the trailers.
It's interesting to see crops being harvested close to home. Was this on the Idaho side of the river or on the Oregon side which is just a little further west from Nampa?
Do they go end to end on the right the entire field or somehow cut lands to divide it up with a harvester like that? Also what is the implement in the front for? Just a guide to keep between the rows? Great video as always!
No end rows but they did apparently split the field at some point before I got there. I believe the piece on the front just bumps any onions away that may get in the way of the tractor tire.
We have a lot of wells and pumps around here, but we also have irrigation ditches. I can’t say for sure but these were most likely grown with drip tape, similar to the stuff used for your backyard garden.
I always enjoy seeing different farming of different crops. Appreciate it Mike.

I'm impressed by how clean the onions are, coming out of that harvester. It does a really good job of winnowing out the trash.
THANKS MIKE LESS YOUR VIDEOS HAVE BEEN KEEPING ME HAPPY LATELY THIS YEAR HAS BEEN ROUGH BUT YOUR VIDEOS KEEP ME GOING

Impressive onion harvest in Nampa, Idaho! Amazing to see the hard work and scale of production
It was nice to see a cabover straight truck not many in use any more. Thanks for the vid and Have an Awesome Day.
Another awesome video that you would never see on another channel, thanks, brother

Cool to see! Love the cabover truck!

A tearful day? Out in one of my favorite states.
great job from merridian,id they have been trying to find automation like this in the Salinas valley and such for lettuce,broccoli ,cauliflower.
Thanks for the enlightenment of "onion" harvest from Big Sky Country, Mike.
Ive never seen a onion harvesting video this was very interesting. Thanks for making the video Mike.
Cool video. Love seeing a variety of farming and harvesting videos like this
Those onion loaders are made right here in Parma. Welcome back to Idaho
Makes my eyes water, just looking at onions. I hate onions when it's being prepared around me but I love them when they're already cooked/sauteed.
Great video Mike of the onion harvesting! It's amazing how many come off the belt into the truck. The machine does an awesome job cleaning them as well! Thanks for sharing this video with us along with your PRICELESS time and effort! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.
Great video, I don't know what a good yield is for onions, but that looks like alot of onions.
Neat video. Looking forward to the mint harvest one.
You don't see an onion harvest video that often😉👍 the onion harvester does a clean job😁👍
Thanks for sharing👍👍
Absolutely cool. Love onions too.
Great video Mike! Could you get some shots of them unloading the onions into storage so we can see how that is done? Thanks.
Awesome video, thanks Mike !
Great video 👍
Eye watering content 👍👍
Good video ; loading system & harvesting
I wish I had known you were here in Idaho I live in Caldwell. I’d love to meet you.
Great video Mike, this is the first time I’ve seen onions being harvested 👍 JP from Lancaster Pa😁

Pretty cool video of that kind of harvest
Looks like they really yield!
The Vidalia onions down here in south georgia are picked by hand so they won't get damaged
I live near Pine Island NY. In Orange County NY. Otherwise known as the black dirt region. Very big on onions. Should check it out mike
Great video Mike just think of the onion rings

wonderful
This is so cool! Is this the same way they harvest onions in Walla Walla Washington? Their onions are legendary!
Какой хороший урожай лука!

Gee, If You would have also shown a field of Potatoes and a field of Ground Beef . . . I'd be in Heaven!
Thats a lot of onions.

I love onions!
Driving through Nampa..."Hey..what stinks ?"
Is the TopAir also topping? Seems that the onion volume may be too high for that? Only blowing the loose skin?
Do they go end to end on the right the entire field or somehow cut lands to divide it up with a harvester like that? Also what is the implement in the front for? Just a guide to keep between the rows? Great video as always!

What kind of irrigation allows these farmers to grow onion in the desert ?
We have a lot of wells and pumps around here, but we also have irrigation ditches. I can’t say for sure but these were most likely grown with drip tape, similar to the stuff used for your backyard garden.
It is interested farm.
What dealer in Indiana has the 9RX 770 out?
I love you mike
CABOVER!!!!
