Really enjoying seeing potato planting in 2024! I grew up on a small mixed farm on P.E.I in Canada. My family were farmers/fishers. We had about 200 acres of shorefront land, mostly wooded with about 60 acres clear. We grew grain, hay and potatoes. We had about 10 cattle, a few pigs and chickens. Back then 20 acres was a big field for us. The potato sets were cut by hand and planted by hand and then hilled by a one or two row hillier Our family did have a mechanical planter that planted the sets and hilled them one row at a time. The planter had been horse drawn but was converted to be towed behind our Ford 8N tractor. When harvest time came we used a beater digger to scatter the potatoes and then small crews came along on our knees and picked the potatoes into bushel baskets(made by local Indigenous people). The baskets were emptied into burlap bags to be picked up by trailer or our half ton truck. The potatoes were then hauled to our house to be stored in our clay basement to be graded ,bagged and shipped later. Maybe picking potatoes on my knees explains my bad knees today! Wishing you a good growing season!

I think that the drone shots are wonderful. They show better just how big a hundred acre field really is. All the mechanized equipment is so much more that there was 60-70 years ago when I lived in a big farming area. All that equipment is amazing when you figure two-hundred years ago, farmers were using plows with wooden or cast iron moldboards. Ten years after that is when John Deere came out with the steel moldboards. A huge improvement. I’m 77, so the advancements in farming are amazing in my life time. Industrialized now.

You are killing it with the rows , perfection . I always struggled getting straight rows . I also had one TL circle , I pumped my water and drove the hyd pump with a diesel engine . That was in the day of 1.00 $$ diesel . Yes seed production would be a problem for you , thankfully you probably have good seed production in the state to draw from . That was some flood , is that a regular event ? One year I experienced a flood at one of my cellars , I had a foot of water inside . It went away pretty quick and I spent the rest of the winter wondering what ill effects I would have . Shipped out that spring and everything was fine ... Keep up the great work
