Last weekend we began the fall harvest. We dusted off our bin filler (figuratively speaking of course – the bin filler is always rather dusty) and started filling the potato storage. These are our Yukon Gem potatoes that were transported in large bulk trucks from the field to our farm. Curtis is picking out unwanted debris such as grass clumps, weeds and stones as the potatoes fall out of the bulk truck. The potatoes travel along several belts until they reach the bin filler.
Our crew pulls out every last bit of unwanted debris as the potatoes roll along the bin filler. The potato pile will fill this entire section of our storage from floor to ceiling. This is one of our two potato storages that will hopefully be full to the top by the time we finish the fall harvest. You can visit “The Potato Bin Filler” to see a video of our bin filler in action.
