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.

Clarkson's farm has got me incredibly interested in farming lately. The machinery, the technology and how it's all done is incredible. 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. Thanks for taking the time to share your incredible work and help educate people on the work that goes into putting food on their plates.

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.

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.

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.
@RockyMountainFarmer
@RockyMountainFarmer 27 күн бұрын
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.

Lotta of farms in Idaho are " dry farmed" the planting of beets and potatoes is done in sync with seasonal rains and spring run off from winter snow. Less output production wise than a irrigated farm,yet more cost effective considering the depth and cost for drilling wells; not mention electricity and diesel needed to keep well pumps operating around the clock for the expensive mobile irrigating sprinklers.

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.

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.

Yes, it’s usually a struggle to keep all of the pivots running to water the potatoes.

there is an oil additive for wet breaks, it helps for better breaking and no squeaking, ask you local supplier

You need to check in to stone slinger trucks that we have here in ohio. It has a conveyor in the belly and one that swings any direction to load the planters. That would let you get rid of the pay loader and load straight off the truck save time and money and fuel.

You know, that’s one of the reasons I started the channel is because I couldn’t find anything about potatoes, and I wanted to teach people where they came from. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Of you add friction modifier to the case axles it takes care of the brake noise. Coming from a mechanic who worked on a lot of high hour case loaders

Is that because CASE is a WET brake system. I cut my teeth on my dad's lap on the old 580- CK backhoe. Doing the front bucket backfill. I have run every model of the 580 series backhoe. When I retired I bought myself a Dynahoe-190. I ran one in 1979 it was a beast of 19000 pounds. My baby is a 1978 with 8000 hours on the old 353 Detroit Diesel. I keep clean oil and filter in her. And have an Engine block heater. It helps at start up on her.

Great explanation of how everything works and enjoyed the close ups of the equipment!! Lots of maintenance items to keep up with. You probably mentioned what variety of potato you plant and I missed it. They look like Russet potatoes. What percent of your harvest go to seed potatoes? Love the aerial view at the end.
@RockyMountainFarmer
@RockyMountainFarmer Ай бұрын
I’m glad you liked the video. The variety of potato is a russet ranger. We don’t grow any of our own seed. All of these will go into making potato flakes that be turned into things like Pringles and mashed potatoes.
