Mechanical Harvesting of Onions on the Farm
Harvesting onions requires specialized machinery that gently lifts ripe bulbs out of the soil without bruising their paper-like skins. The tractor pulls or powers the harvester, which scoops up rows of onions that were previously undercut or pulled. This mechanized method allows farmers to gather large harvests efficiently before autumn weather sets in.
Drying and Gathering Mature Bulb Crops
Onions are often allowed to cure directly in the field for several days after being pulled, letting their outer layers dry into protective papery husks. Harvesters then collect the dried bulbs, separating remaining soil and debris as they move across the rows. Proper field curing increases the storage life of onions significantly.
