Big Business Season 2 Marathon: Farming - Наука та технологія
Ngl the cork bark ripping off the tree is pretty satisfying
ikr
So you like watching trees getting undressed, you dirty dog! 😏
Bless these farmers! Hopefully we learn some lessons after this pandemic and we can improve our food distribution and supply chain systems. But without farmers there’s no food. Hopefully more consumers become educated. We need our local farmers especially
Well stated.
Plandemic
The sheer scale of the waste is shocking. I feel so sorry for these farmers.
I feel so sorry for the hungry people 🥺... 🤔wait I'm also one of them
Rockefeller center asks for the tree to be donated??? Wtf, go pay your tree like all of us! 🤣
"Farmers farm for the love of farming" thats the truest statement I've heard this year
At first, I thought the cork tree wasn't sustainable, but the more I watched, I realized it was.
I'm going to plant a cork tree now. :)
The fact that they handle it with so much respect impressed me!
If we did that with nature all around the world, we wouldn't be in this global warming crisis.
But man is too greedy. Most caring for their riches over humanity. They could care less what happens beyond their life span.
Lol Mick. I was thinking the same thing.
@@deewynn ?çß
@@deewynn Its not what is seems in the video... Im from Alentejo. I already worked in cork extraction and gather, and some people respect the trees only because of the rules and the laws that are on the extraction or the orders of who own the land, but most of man dont really love and respect nature... From cigars thrown to the middle of the forest (montado) to calling bad adjectives to really ancient trees (300 400 yo) just because they have round forms or hard curves to take the cork... that says a lot... Anyway, i guess everyone forgot that we all love nature, and must do.
Wow Portugal is really incredible. I love how they care so much for the trees
ONLY because it's been their main crop since the 1200's
It's part of our inheritance

@@kelliintexas3575 what are you getting at or adding to this conversation? For their main export to be sustainably farmed, is a wonderful thing
Onlar sömürgecidir
Bring your pork here in philipines we have pork shortage in our country !
Lovely to hear this market is both sustainable and fights desertification!
only three of us know what desertification is
Eighty years!!! So then, the tree is cut to be a xmas tree for a month and put down and forgotten. Nice...
That's just stupid!
Totally agree with you
Christmas is disgusting and fkng Last Christmas is starting to be played everywhere again. F ur Christ bs stupid as hell getting gifts
This comment sums up our species 🤣👍
This is one reason why my family reuses the same old fake tree year after year until it literally falls apart. I'm amazed how many people still use real trees then toss them....
@@ogkendrick6392 First of all don't blame ALMIGHTY GOD for something people do . Second it's a celebration of hope if you don't have one that's your problem but people like us do have hope in ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST . So don't go out putting out your sadist review on everyone you can simply ignore it .
I never even thought of where cork came from.Very interesting
Very interesting!
As someone who worked in a spinning mill before, I need to say that 29 and 36 are really coarse wool actually... 20/21/22 is used for clothing, 29 might be ok for pullovers... but 36 is too scratchy to wear!
I may be wrong, but I thought 36 is used for outdoor rugs, cushions, and such?
@@Mythical4227 That'd make sense!
Lots of sad Agricultural losses due to Covid. And the last story about the Rockefeller Christmas Tree is crazy! I can't imagine asking a family to donate their One & Only Prize tree growing on their lawn for a few weeks of display! What a terrible tradition!
I agree..Americans are strange people
I really respect those who lost a lot during the pandemic Covid-19, they are the real heroes…
If you see this you are gonna achieve something great in the next couple weeks.
If you can afford wool, I 100% recommend them, the blankets are so soft and warms me up in the harshest winters. Also the wool sweaters are just an aesthetic.
Also time for Montana to make some vodka distilleries to use the spuds..
Edit some dehydration plants to feed the hungry people or cattle
This is really a phenomenal material.
May god bless everyone that is watching this 👌✊️🌎
God and most importantly, education and critical thinking skills to produce your own farm for your own family to thrive
May God bless you too
Funny how religious fanatics
act like they are
ultimately generous.
Blessing complete strangers
not even asking
if they are believers.
So easy to pretend
you are benevolent,
giving something
when there is nothing
beyond cheap talk .
If you are anxious to be giving ,please be kind enough to give people what they want
and what they need.
Get some help psychologically when you lie to yourself about being generous and you really are not giving anything.
Keep your cheap talk to yourself . Most people look after their own spiritual necessities.
Who needs yours bogus generosity more than you.
@@eijonasson Hey E. E. If you are are stressed or having anxious thoughts you can find rest in Jesus Christ. The Bible says...
Matthew 11: 28-30
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
If you want to experience this peace that surpasses all of our understanding it can only come through a relationship with the Savior Jesus Christ.
Philippians 4:7
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
If you are ever interested in coming to Christ, the Bible says...
Romans 10:9
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
I pray that you too will one day have the same hope we have. Not so much that your life on earth will be better (though it will be) but so that you will inherit eternal life with all those who trust in Jesus to save them on the final day.
Take care,
Adam
@@adamsanchez9288 as if a imaginary sky daddy can help someone and some words in a really old book have any meaning. They litteraly want to update the bible and remove the word "slave" from everywhere it is. They are modifying it to lie to people and brainwash them
Buying wool yarn is expensive - I stopped buying synthetic years ago.
Bless you! Wonder product isn't it, wool? Love the stuff, just wish it wasn't so prohibitively expensive.
wow...all those potatoes and people are starving and you can give out but so much ...things will turn around
I'm sure the farmers would love to, but that would add another expense while they aren't earning money. If the government had the heart to fund it it could happen, but let's be real, that's unlikely
Fund them
People if they give you free food would you still pay?
Very sad. Killing this old beautiful tree just for few days of LED lights...
Some people stick the trees on the ground and it grows roots
Killing trees? We don't do that here
@@maragrace820 not conifers though, they don't re-sprout roots, especially at *that* size~
@@hotman_pt_ this is the case. What do you think happens with this huge Christmas tree? Just use a reasonable plastic one if you really need a tree.
@@liorsinger1 well, just after Christmas season, they are straight sent to the trash. I never used plastic trees aswell. I remember always cutting only a branch of a tree and making it a Christmas tree
about the wool production, my mom always tells me to buy clothes made of wool or at least contains some percentage of wool. I found them more expensive for sure. But I believe wool products should be popular
Expensive because it’s hand made products & wool is always softer
The bonus about merino wool in particular is that you can wear it hiking for over a week and sweat through it but it doesn't smell!
I managed to get a decent sized wool rug for only £55 this year 😳 understandable hearing this!
So satisfying watching this. Thank you Business Insider Team. Good job!
3 bucks for a hundred pounds of potatoes to the farmer, and they're 2 bucks a pound at my local grocery store.
Impressive and informative 👍👍
We all hope & Pray the rebound is quick and sustaining. We all love you this much!
I love how the wool turned into..how environmentally friendly❤️
Yyeeessssss show the world what we have!!!🇵🇹
I love Portugal and the Portuguese people I hope we remain the longest lasting alliance until the end of time! 🇬🇧 🏴
Awesome coverage.
Thank you. More of the small business family farms of the country, please
Every day farmers must care about their land. In every way its the massive corporate run farms like a gates farm that woukd ruin/destroy the environment for profigs like locusts across the land. Sustainability was and is a concept God put into his laws and statutes…the green movement today is like the anything else that garners an emotional response- used to make people think its good so they wont look closely as the small print.
This Compilation of Big business, is very enlighting in countries that are food scarce like Colombia. Good ideas to learn to apply here at their due time.
The farmers heads up when you donate products like food you could probably get it as a tax write-off that's what big companies do like computer companies when they do donations they put us tax write-off
Please make more marathons of videos in this channel! I love watching them with my friend
*Thanks for sharing , Great information 😍👍*
Omg the sheep sheerer grinding with no eye pro... the day he goes to the emergency room to get a sliver out of his eye is inevitable.
I love how Europe protects these little practices so that these countries can thrive
Covid 19 losses are so painful and in big magnitude
I've always wanted cork flooring in my dream tiny home
UN, FAO and all the world countries should think about developing a logistics network that will redistribute excess production from one part of the world to parts of world where people who are suffering in hunger. This will help the world in a great way. Seeing the potato's dumped in US, paddy and wheat stocks let to rot in India while millions go to bed with hunger is really a hard thing to digest.
the farmer is our life line we need to take care of them !!!
😯 Wow. What an Important News Reporting Piece this is. This would be a helpful and effective tool to keep kids engaged and aid in classroom discussion when this would apply the lesson plan and curriculum. Honestly from what I watched and heard it’s packed full of options to apply to just about every years curriculum, somewhere. Not too mention all the other goodies to help educate our lovely 🥰 children’s minds about and how it affects us now and in the future. Idk 🤷♀️ something really struck a chord with me here.
To see the ripple down effect of our actions and the importance of our choices that have an effect on others near and far. Possibly ALL over the world. Matter of Fact our Choices DO EFFECT the People, Animals, and The World!!!! In VERY BAD WAYS, WAKE UP PEOPLE!! Stop WAITING for someone else to change your ways for the better.
I couldn't agree more! I was taught about bushels and pecks, and rotating crops etc., but now they don't even teach anything about sustainable crops. They're being over-whelmed with global warming, and haven't the slightest idea about how to go about slowing it down. I'm 60 years old, so it's a whole new ballgame in our schools, from when I went. Not everyone is going into the tech field. We need farmers, and trades people. The kids these days think they're going to make millions, by having people give you likes, and subs. Life doesn't work out like that for everybody. We're becoming a world of self-indulgence, and we're going to hell in a hand-basket(as they used to say). It's just sad. Peace
wonder why if there is such a surplus of potatoes ,why they increased a lot at the store???? I do applaud them for giving them out.
Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago West Indies , Thanks much for this very interesting and informative video .
You probably wish your government would get some free potatoes for the starving population.
Heard that food prices are thru the ceiling in TT.
@@sbludba Those people better no be starving with all that tropical plants to eat.
to see the extent of what cork is used for really amazes me, fancy shoes, turf, wine, just about anything
NZ must start there own textile industry.
They had one. Corporates first moved it to Australia and then to outsourced it to China
Hi there alkie
We used to but it all got outsourced now us kiwis can't afford a quality, renewable and environmentally friendly fiber that can be used for so many things; from clothing to insulation to carpets to biodegradable packaging etc :( I trawl secondhand stores and purchase as much 100 percent nz wool garments as possible- it's warmth is superior to anything else as well as the fact that when it sheds fibers during the wash, they aren't like polyester which is plastic and ends up in the foods we eat.
Maybe make bags for groceries stores to use.. with the course wool... make them with robots. No plastic a plus. Able to find a use and not have to throw it away also a plus,
I feel awful for the financial devastation in these industries.
true craftsmanship
The potateos you can make it as a fertilizer
And vodka!!!!
Biofuel!
There is a fertilizer shortage. If they could they would
Pretty good content!
Wow just learned wool is fire resistant
For the sheep they acctually need to sharpen the blades every 15 minutes because a dull blade will acctually cut a sheep and if you cut a sheep as a Shearer that's a big issue. Infection can set in and sheep can dye some places and with a farm this size with this many sheep infection is very possible and once disease sets in it can be hard to stop
What colour?
@@thehapavegan7177 infection would appear like a human's infection a first, swollen from the area, pinky red surrounding it, continously getting worse, if it's the immediate following day then probably not a issue but most farmers keep a purple spray (cant remember the real name) in the barn that they can spray any cuts or gashes, but the spray stains skin even
There has got to be an industrial use of potato starch to avoid this massive loss.
There are uses, you could make ethanol for fuel or sanatizer or make bio gas...
The thing is, can you sill make it profitable when you take shipping, transport and labour into account even if
the farmers will 'happily' give away the potatoes for free since it saves the cost of burying them?
It can be used in the hair and skin products industry too...
What isnt mentioned is if the farmer sells the seed potatoes to starch or alcohol makers they loose their permits to sell as seed potatoes. Why they need the liscenses is in northern farms they have a lower grow season so grow seed instead of full service potatoes. How about deregulation, get rid of the regulation and waste lowers.
@@shyla4us That is both hilarious and very sad. Is that some government stupidity or Monsanto like corporate tactic?
@@shyla4us yup they have to pay to regrow their own potatoes because the patent laws are so screwed up.
What can we do to help the people in New Zealand? Buy a wool blanket where the wool came from New Zealand?
Don't, New Zeland failed at farming because they only sell wool to China
I buy natural wool yarn for knitting. Coarse, fine, it all can be used
If you have the money to spend, look for yarn and garments made from NZ wool. One very nice kiwi brand that is produced and made in NZ is Glowing Skies - too expensive for me as a local but many international buyers buy and enjoy :) Wild South is also a brand made with NZ wool, fine spun merino! If you're feeling fancy, get yourself some merino possum socks, they're like clouds and help to reduce brushtail possum numbers here as they're a pest and kill our native bird species.
“Farming isn’t that easy”
I don’t know bro, trashing mountains of potatoes sounds like the pinnacle of fun.
One of the best quotes and sayings of all time matches this thought... ( "gardens are not made By singing: "Oh, how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade." )
1-0 you
Don't worry cheap wool means cheap insulation meaning increased demand for construction which will drive up the price
the loss of these large farm crops shows why we need local farmers and processors , at one time my hometown had 3 packing houses now there are none
You can turn the potatoes into vodka, or send them to pig farms
Exactly, maybe not vodka as it require equipment and maybe a licence, but to feed pigs it will be OK.
But maybe it's too much.
Pigs cannot have a full potato diet.
It breaks my heart ❤️ to see all those potatoes 🥔 going to waste with all the hungry people in the USA 🇺🇸!!!!!if this ever happens again, I’m in Orlando Florida and I could get trucks to you and we could haul potatoes from where you are in the states, but we could organize trucks to haul taters all over!!! You can survive off of just potatoes! Put some shanks in a pot potato au grotin, potatoe soup!!!!!we could feed a lot of hungry people ❤️🙏😎
This is not even funny tf
Seriously I thought I was gonna lose it seeing all that food going to waste. I get that giving the potatoes away might not be profitable but how is wasting it better? At least if you donate you could get a tax write off or something. As long as you can get volunteers for all that transport. Or just work something out with communities. Don't get me wrong I know it's a kind of situation where there's no easy solution. I'm sure shipping it to starving people in the US or in different countries would also be expensive, but at least you could do some good.
They are companies and companies never give foods free, this is how the humans sucks the blood of each other,
@babybaklavagus were you forced to eat food as a child? I hate parents that force there kids to eat and finish there plates. I always think 🤔 that
Donating this amount of food to the poor all over the world would be a charitable act beyond imagination. I’m sure many charity organizations would find ways to handle it
This is a great informative video.Very nice.....
They ought to sell their wool to native Americans or other groups that make beautiful rugs, saddle blankets etc. It’s probably smart to not send most of your exports to any one country.
It's cheaper to send large amount to one place than sending small amount to multiple places will cost more.
Cutting down the 80 years old tree for a stupidest reason. It was happy for 80 years till the rich found it. Now it’s dead.
.???
So true😔 what a loss
That's the way the RICH operate, their sense of value is skewed by the love of money.
Seriously, such a big beautiful tree which is killed for no reason. The family didn't donate it, they were paid for it.
It's one tree, in a single year... There are much worse deforestation practices done for way less valuable causes...
Amazing awesome technology 👍✌️❤️🖤
I am educated more now.Thank you .💜❤️💚
I wish they could send all those unused potato’s to a hungry country
Yeah, but that costs money, and farms which are already struggling can really shell it out to send taters across the world.
The government has billions of dollars that it can feed everyone within the United States in itself that suffers with hunger. Forgotten harvest and many churches should always give out potatoes all year round because if nothing else people can you know make mashed potatoes bake them fry them whatever just to not be hungry. To implicate what cost money is a selfish aspect when you're with a country that's one of the riches is not a third world country so people are very thoughtless and not compassionate of world hunger. 👎🏼🤬🤔😵🤦🏻♀️
@@monie2514 Run for president. Do something keyboard warior.
It's a system problem. If I can get potatoes free then would I and you be willing to pay for potatoes?
And how much would it cost, better to burry and improve the soil fertility for future seasons Covid is surely bound to end...
I feel sorry for the potato
If their optimal growth temperature is between 60-80 F, what would happen during Winter when temperature drops below zero or little above zero? Do they remain dormant for the entire Winter season that could last up to 8 months (October-May or June)?
Necessity is the mother of invention .
You can produce alcohol fuel grade alcohol not drinking alcohol for about $0.40 a gallon including the container
Why didn't they do that with those potatoes 🤔
They named the owl after the company that cut down it's nest. That's ballsy.
Time of video this happens at?
Wow...very interesting...well documented...
The pork section made me glad I live in an area of Louisiana were the majority of meat is locally raised and processed.
Very interesting. Wool is so much better for the environment. It lasts longer, better quality than synthetic materials. I think people are turning back to more sustainable resources.
Potatoes can't be used as compost, they become harmful.
Excellent upload. Full watched and have a wonderful day.
I love the sound of them pulling the bark of the tree
First sheep in the video: "Please, no, have mercy. I have a family!"
Aw...th pure sheep is nakee
Glad to hear trees being called "his"
Nice work
I will Select Wool, Linen, and Cotton over Polyester or Nylon any day
I’m still mad about the Christmas tree
We grow those simply in northern America states. It grows wild, and the trees produce oxygen for the planet reducing the pollution and co2 levels that are rising. In the end, think about what the trees do for the planet, not just the economic part of it.
😡🎉🎄🎁🎉
I likes wools its warm and light, but you have to clean by hand, although some company they have wools that you can machine washing, but acording to my expriment, no, its still get smaller. I think this is the main problem, people dont want to wash cloth by hand.
You can wash them on delicate wash in the wash mashine but stop the machine before the centrifugal round. Wrap it on a towel. Done
There are a few brands that I've found that have wool garments that can be washed (only cold wash though) but they tend to either be blends or expensive.
Potato can use for aqua farm feed too and can made happy drink.
Belcampo on that nipsey hussle business acumen! Salute!
So informative video.Thank you.about the Christmas tree why can't place a living tree and remove it back again.very sorry to see the potatoes go rot as we have to buy them at high price and people at place go hungry.thanks again
Potatoes aren't expensive lol

Yeah,let's have Chinese slave laborers create a tree out of petroleum that needs to be shipped across the world and then breaks down and emits carcinogens into our environment over it's entire life span. Or, we could use a natural tree that regrows.
@@dherman0001 lol did I mentioned any Chinese?

Look at those pigs being shocked to move further in line on metal floor cramped in white boxes. What a life.
That Rockefeller tree is a very nice tradition.. but why not just plant a permanent tree there. It will be a nice ,green little piece of forest all year around and when Xmas comes around you just light it up. And since it can stand alone I'm the middle of that place it will absolutely grow up to be a perfect "Disney style " Xmas tree
We need those in cali :,( potatoes are up almost 150% where I live
Fund them. Theyll be happy to send it to you.
That is more proof that California is overpopulated.
I'm so glad I was left at my grand parents house as a child when my parents worked. I learned Portuguese from my father's side, and Spanish from my mother's side.
Knowing Portuguese obviously allowed me to learned Brazilian very easily.
Knowing Spanish allowed me to know and learn Cuban/Puerto Rican/Mexian, as well as understanding a large majority of south American languages.
Having a Hungarian/Czech girlfriend got me to try and learn those two languages. But honestly speaking, I only understand about 10% Czech and Hungarian, but I can deduce what's being said from that 10%.
As an American, I love the ability to go to another country/culture, sit down by a local in a bar and have a conversation with them having no idea I'm from America.
I've definitely lost my ability to learn languages, which is why I'm so glad my babysitters were my grandparents. Because I was able to absorb it all without any effort.
If you have a child, I recommend teaching them languages at a young age because it will open up the world for them in the future, even though they might hate learning it at the time.
We in Tamil nadu, S.India, produce enormous qty of coconuts. I invite scientists to teach us value addition in coconuts so that our farmer may get additional benefits.
Just an FYI, Belcampo ended up closing after going broke, in fact they may have never made a profit, and part of their closing was related to relabeling of product coming in from the commodity market being sold as their own.
Moral of the story: whatever the govt touches, it burns
There are a number of places in this world with little to no government. You should move there and see how you like it. It may agree with you and your world views better.
The Spanish examples don't appear to support that hypnosis
My pp
Doing the same thing they did to farmers and real estate that they did during the great depression. The already Rich make a LOT of money off our economic depressions.
I was always told cork was not ok to use but now I know
SAD TO SEE REALLY, BEAUTIFUL ENDING
