    Very good video. I used to drive truck for brother-in-law out in Eastern Washington in Columbia Basin during Potatoe harvest. We went straight from field to plant (tagarres) in Othello Washington. Back then they used 4620 John Deeres pulling 4 row Lockwood diggers. No windrowers avail back then that I know of. this was in 1975

    . In the United States, Idaho topped the ranking of leading potato producing states, with an annual production amount of about 121 million cwt (Hundredweight) of potatoes in 2022. Washington and Wisconsin were the next largest producers with production amounting to about 93.3 million cwt and 29 million cwt, respectively

      @@RockyMountainFarmer The farmers around us (Burley, ID) in the early 00’s all ran two 4 row windrowers to one 4 row digger. Many of them now seem to be running a single 6 windrower and 4 row digger, any guesses on why that would be? Is the cost savings of running 2 machines instead of 3 enough to justify that loss of productivity? I would have thought they’d go to 2 6 row windrowers or an 8 row to keep lifting capacity. We only did sugar beets and grains to about ‘05 so my spud experience is limited and rusty. I wish you could get some of these RUclips grain farmers out to see what Idaho potato harvest is like, nothing smells as good as fresh potato dirt.

      Two six row windrowers with four row harvester is common in mid Michigan. I have heard one operation is, in some combination is getting a twenty row total pickup.

    • @RockyMountainFarmer
      @RockyMountainFarmer  10 месяцев назад

      It could be cost savings it could also be maybe they don’t have enough operators. Or in our case our cellar equipment wouldn’t be able to keep up so until we upgrade that it wouldn’t make sense to get a second Windrower. I did invite one of the Midwest grain farmers out here but they couldn’t because they were in corn harvest.

    Hey from Poky. Nice looking spuds this year. All the extra precip we got must of helped. I drove spud truck during harvest in the 70's & 80's out in New Sweeden west of IF. There is nothing better than a fresh spud right out of the dirt cooked by any method.

    What crops do you plant after taters? And I assume any that get missed end up growing again?

    • @RockyMountainFarmer
      @RockyMountainFarmer  10 месяцев назад +2

      So we grow grain after potatoes and sometimes you get volunteer potatoes, but how we work up the ground we don’t usually have any issues. We grow a little bit of hay, but that doesn’t get rotated very often.

  • @codyburgoyne7259
    @codyburgoyne7259 10 месяцев назад +1

    Ok I see. A tractor can only dig so much. Instead of trickling a truck with all one tractor can do, you have a windrow of another to load a truck with essentially two tractors worth of dug spuds.

    • @deannelson9565
      @deannelson9565 10 месяцев назад

      Because it cuts down on the number of trucks you need. If you didnt wundrow them you would have to have a truck next to every machine all the time. It's the same reason why we run grain carts out in grainfields it simplifies the loading of the trucks and allows the main Harvester to keep going continuously.

    • @RockyMountainFarmer
      @RockyMountainFarmer  10 месяцев назад +1

      It is more efficient this way because you are able to dig 10 or in some cases 16 rows so you can go faster. The biggest harverter they make is a 4 row but if all we dug was 4 rows at a time it would take us 2 months to harvest so this way saves us time and money.

      We do get a few big ones that carryover from time to time but the new equipment does a good job at keeping the majority of them. The ones we tend to lose are the really little ones that can squeeze through the holes in the chains.

We get tested for bruising so got to be as gentle as possible with the spuds. The factory puts tennis ball's in front of windrower and digger's that they pull out when load gets emptied in to the store shed's

      These aren’t going to fresh so they don’t have to be handled so carefully. The plant loves our spuds so much they keep asking if we can grow more. We have never had a problem with bruising.

    I’m not a potato farmer and not my first video to watch of them harvesting potatoes.but if that piece of equipment can dig 6 rows at a time and shoot them out on the ground why couldn’t it be equipped with conveyers to put in buggies instead of another harvester coming in behind and doing that?looks like waste of money on more equipment or some manufacturing company just getting richer.or I’m just not getting it.

    • @RockyMountainFarmer
      @RockyMountainFarmer  10 месяцев назад

      So that would basically be a 6 row harvester which doesn’t exist. Also Windrowers are much less expensive than a harvester so you can dig more for less money having one of each.
