    I love seeing Old Glory flying in the field. I think I like it almost as much seeing you fix the flag pole with duct tape. You're a certified 100% American when duct tape is the go to for fixes.😊
    Congratulations on your record setting day for harvest. Impressive!

    Nearly missed this one, I think YT missed a notification as I am subscribed (happens sometimes) Anyway, congratulation on the record 1 day pick, that is a pile of potatoes. Good to see all those big clean spuds coming off the conveyors at such fast speed. Also Nice to see the great condition of the spuds leaving your final cellar after a year in storage, especially after seeing the struggles a few weeks back with that one cellar that caused you a lot of work, but generated a lot of RUclips content. Hopefully all of your cellars will be full to the roof at the end of this harvest. One question: Will you plant a cover crop after harvest, or leave the field empty until the next planting? Really enjoying your channel :)

    • @RockyMountainFarmer
      @RockyMountainFarmer  4 месяца назад +1

    Huge storage barns! NZ yearly potato consumption is around 210,000 tons. From what I see from your videos, your farm could supply either all of or a high percentage of that requirement!
    Do you grow different varieties of spuds or do you stick with a tried and true?

    • @RockyMountainFarmer

The diviner is just one of the belts on the crossover and the harvester that’s really wide that pulls the vines off of the potatoes but the cage on the vine chopper is there for Protecting the windows from rocks. The vine chopper tends to fling rocks forward and with our old one we have shattered windows before, so we just are trying to protect the windows.

      No problem I can clear that up for you so here we measure potatoes in sacks because that’s what they used to haul in to the processing plants was a physical sack of potatoes. Each sack weighs 100 pounds or 45 kg.

      Yes, but if they put the big ones in the stores, who would buy them? There's a couple of family meals to be had off one of those giants, so long as they haven't gone hollow inside.

      @RockyMountainFarmer  4 месяца назад

      Because the only potatoes they want to sell in the stores are the small baked potato size that look perfect they won’t sell any of these potatoes because they’re too ugly. That’s why all of them go to process to make instant mashed potatoes and Pringles.

      They had an over abundance of potatoes this year, so they are late getting them out. We do have a contract that protects us after a certain date for spoilage.
