I love to watch your method to your process. All hands know what to do and there'e not wasted effort. You're a fast learner. It's not easy driving a big rig with gazillion gears that requires a whole to of hand - brain corridination. Growing and packing to multiple individual orders. So many moving parts to the family farming business. I love the no waste cycle of farming. Oh, and not just a typical 9 - 5 with overtime pay job. Great podcast for us city 9 - 5 folks. Thanks!

When downshifting reve up the rpm 500 rpm then shift. Shane can explain it. My secretary drives truck for me during beet harvest, short handed on help, she does a good job too. Good video.

Have you thought about a conveyor under the polisher and sponge table to continually carry everything away to a tank of some sort. I work on a cucumber operation for 5 years and had similar issues at the sorting shed. The farm I was on grew 4000 acres. We were one of 4 farmers growing the same amount of acres. We floated the cucumbers, but the dirt and vines was the biggest issue before they got to the sorting belts. Love you video's.
@BellsFarming

Yes that’s an idea! We are getting a destoner that will float the potatoes this winter. So hopefully that will take care of a lot of the dirt. When we are u loading directly from the field there are always more dirt and vines. Sounds like you did a lot of farming!!! That’s a huge amount of acres!

Hey, you're driving the manual Pete!! You'll get your timing down where you only use the clutch when you start and stop. Getting the timing right to shift, and what gear to be in at what time is tough to wrap your brain around at first, but it's one of those things that when you get it, you get it. It's just an epiphany you get one day. Great job!

Once again Molly and Shane , thank you for taking me along on the ride . You have in many ways captured my life on video that is only a memory today . So much work is involved , the little details that take time but are critical in providing a top grade food product . One distant 3000 mile away observation , in your corn sort line do you need a second conveyor so that when the first person culls a corn ear the second or third person never has to look at it a second time . In theory , the fill end of the conveyor would be full , the cull conveyor would be empty as the process goes along the cull conveyor is filled and at the end of the start conveyor would be mostly empty dumping into the waste bin . Just saying , I love going for the ride . Oh by the way , you are not a bonafide truck driver unless you have the Jake Brake on . If you know you know . LOL All the best to you and the crew .

There was a time when we would throw the cull off the conveyor, but then it was just too much mess to clean up.

What most farms kids ate for lunch years ago in the south. If they will grow up north not sure about that.If you take a sprayer wit 1 gallon of water with a teaspoon of Epsom salt in it spray every morning. Fights blossom rot , fruit set better, you use on most vegetables great on peppers too.
