As we approach the very end of our potato harvest, I wanted to share an aerial video of our bin filler that I took earlier this season. This gives you a great overview of how our potatoes travel from the bulk truck to the potato storage. You can easily see the field debris dropping into the garbage box, the teeny tiny potatoes being sorted out as well as our crew pulling out all weeds, clumps of grass and small stones that we don’t want taking up valuable space in our potato storage. The building is now so full that I doubt we could cram one more potato in!
Our son Curtis operates the bin filler here at our farm. It means keeping the machine operational when there are breakdowns, moving it to different bins and buildings as we harvest different varieties and running empty trucks to the fields to be filled up with more potatoes. You can visit “The Wonderful Windrower” and “The Hypnotic Harvester” to see more aerial videos of our potato harvesting equipment in action.
