Spring has sprung! Our signs of spring are a bit different here at the farm (even though we do have crocus, tree buds and robins like all normal people!) RJ and Curtis are back in the tractors preparing the land so we can plant our crops. Our crew is busy cutting seed potatoes, and John has finished planting potatoes in several fields. Oh, and construction on our new workshop has finally begun! Make sure you keep an eye on our social media so you don’t miss any of the excitement as we plant our 82nd crop of potatoes. You can visit “Tractor Joy Riding” to see a video of planting potatoes from inside the tractor.
 And that’s a wrap folks! Yesterday our last 2 fields finally dried up enough for John to finish planting all our potatoes. So now we park the planter, sit back with our feet up and watch the crop grow…..not really! You can visit "Tractor Joy Riding” to see the potatoes being planted from the unique view of inside the tractor when I tagged along with John.
Johnny’s burning some midnight oil to get the potatoes planted. Doing what it takes to get the job done! You can visit “Long Weekend Plans #plant24” to see a video of our potato planter in action during daylight hours.
And they’re off! This short video shows our seed potatoes tumbling along the cutting line into the bulk truck. They’ll be transported to the field where John is planting our crop. The truck doesn’t leave the farm until it’s full, so clearly there is a lot of cutting to do yet! You can visit “Little Seed Potatoes” to learn more about seed potatoes.
