    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.

Already held farmers in high regard for the amount of hard work they do, and that's only increasing with every video I watch, even the logistics that go on to make all this come together is amazing.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      Well, I’m glad you enjoyed it. There are some big potato farms out here that are bigger than us course the state just curtailed all the water which is going to put a lot of them out of business.

      @@RockyMountainFarmer THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE GOVERNMENT PUT'S THEIR NOSES WHERE THEY DO NOT BELONG!!! WHAT ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN FEEDING THE NATION AND PART OF THE WORLD I AM SURE! GOOD THING THAT I AND ALL FOLKS WHO WORK FOR A LIVING LIKE FARMERS KNOW WHO TO VOTE FOR! CERTAINLY NOT THE MENACE TO SOCIETY! HAVE A GREAT DAY!

    GPS sure helps planting around pivots, I typically use last years lines and can start at the pivot, makes it easy haha. Just finished planting yesterday :) hope things are going well!

      There’s many ways to do it America and a few other countries do it like that over in the U.K. we ridge then separate the land and plant after personal think it’s a better way but everyone has there own opinion and does things differently and that’s okay also could depend on the land how you do it many ways to plant potatoes

    This was very interesting. What we would”d like to see, if you haven’t shown it already is how you prepped the seed. I watched the harvest last fall, now you are planting. I have missed a step.
