I live in New Zealand and moved out of town to a two acre block surrounded by paddocks which have grown wheat, ryegrass and potatoes. It’s amazing how farming is done, the machinery and dedication of the farmers and contractors. I am always enthralled to see something new from season to season. They all deserve more credit because it’s a hard life and they battle the market and the weather. Thanks to all farmers for making our food.

I was raised on an 80-acre Spud farm near Buhl Idaho. 1947 Hand-cut seed eye per piece. Farmall F-30 tractor. Hand-picked and hand-bucked. School closed for harvest. Pickers got a nickel per sack. Lots of work but it was a great way to grow up.

Seeing a potato farm takes me back to my time as a 13 year old here in the UK potato picking. We would be picked up by the farm lorry at 5am, then work filling 1 tonne wooden crates with potatoes that you would pick by hand. As a 13 year old, I earned more than £100 a week (about $170 at the exchange rates of the time) doing that backbreaking work from 6am to 5pm for a few weeks every year.

I remember planting potatoes with my grandfather. We would sty up the night before cutting the eyes off that we planted. Man miss those memories for sure. We would have a 1/2 acre of potatoes the rest all vegetation you could think of that would grow in the south Texas area. We planted 1 1/2 acre of groceries and dang those veggies was the better than what you buy in the stores now. Homegrown is the best without all them chemicals the government wants yall to put on them. Yeah while it took some to keep the bugs, insects,etc away but dang love me some homemade veggies. Keep up the great work!!!

That's what I remember as a young boy, helping my dad plant potatoes in Northeast Arkansas. We had what was called a middle buster and I would drive the A Farmall and dad would walk behind the tractor with his hands on the plow. I was 8 or 9 and the tractor was in first gear so he could keep up. Then we dropped the potatoes by hand then we would cover them by hand with a hand rake. It was hard work to plant a 1/2 of potatoes. By the way, this is my first time watching your videos, Doug.

Did anyone else hear this April about a water war imminent in Idaho ? Even with all of the rain and snow the last two years ( thanks to that submerged volcano popping two years ago in Hunga Tonga) the inept 'authorities' are claiming the farmers can't irrigate hundreds of thousands of acres of crops this year.

Yeah it’s going to be bad there’s over 100,000 acres that will not be able to get watered. It might even be close to 500,000 acres. The bad thing is everybody’s crops were already planted and then they told them they couldn’t water them. Luckily, we are not affected because most of our farm is watered with surface water.

I always wondered how potatoes were planted now days. Several years ago I found this horse drawn potato planter at my in-laws place in South Dakota. I brought it home and restored it. It uses a similar principle in that it skewers the potatoes from the hopper and drops them in the ground and then has disks to cover them up.
