Not sure if you can see these comments, Patrick. But, it looks like they have highjacked your comment section. None of this has to do with your video. I hope you have your taters taken care of. Looks like a rocking and rolling weather day for you tomorrow. Stay safe.
I’ll get a random comment like those every now and then. This is the most of them i’ve seen on one video. One of those specific messages has appeared on several of my videos. Not sure why. It rained most of today with 90% tomorrow. We may dig some more tators early in the morning.
Hello! You have a good potato harvest! Organic potatoes! Very healthy! Well done, thank you for your hard work!! Tell me, please, what is the cost of such organic potatoes in your state? And what is the cost in your state? potatoes grown with herbicides , insecticides ? I am also a farmer , but I grow potatoes using standard technology .
I got $5 per 10 pound bag. There is no other potato farmers around here. This was my first attempt at growing potatoes. I need a windrower and/or a machine to lift them to trailer.
@@PatrickShivers this is a very good price for potatoes ! it will bring you a good profit . You have a very good climate for potatoes . you need to grow it and sell it not only in cooked canned form . It is necessary to sell in nets and bags . I live on the border of Ukraine and Russia , in the Kursk region , we have a war . Now we are removing potatoes , digging with our hands in general, since there is nothing to dig potatoes with now, there is no diesel fuel, spare parts . So , my great - grandmother , a noblewoman , was also engaged in potatoes since 1870 . And the experience of a very large family . My advice to you : if you want to sell potatoes in bags , then remove them only with your hands . Potatoes will be of excellent quality , appearance and can lie in the cellar for 3-4 months . After harvesting with any combine, the skin of the potatoes is erased, the potatoes are severely injured and do not lie for a long time and begin to rot. If you plan to immediately process potatoes , make salads , canned food from it , then it 's easier with a combine harvester . It is better to spend money not on a combine harvester , but on a cellar . So that the potatoes are stored for a long time and have an ideal appearance . My WhatsApp +79513379891 , it's a pleasure to communicate with you! Please write your contacts to contact you ! Let 's be friends !
All my potatoes i sold were in mesh bags. We set the skin by mowing the tops off a week in advance. This killed the plant and allowed for the skin to harden so as not to be damaged during machine harvest. I only canned the potatoes we kept for our family and the ones we donated to a Christian mission.
I had little to no bugs issues, perhaps because potatoes aren’t usually grown here. I do have to battle ants though. If the ground gets dry ants will bite the potatoes for water
The amount of time varies per conditions. You’re waiting for the skin to set. It can take 7-21 days depending upon numerous variables. I check them every couple of days and see if the skin rubs off easily with my thumb.
I really enjoyed this video! I came to see what you use to pick up the windrows after you finish digging. I see you use those personal sized armstrong loaders :) Would something like this be good for you or do you prefer to let them sit after digging before picking up? ua-cam.com/video/WPgwv6zHtpw/v-deo.html Your soil looks nice. Besides being sandy right there, is it fertile on the whole farm? I'm almost 400 miles south of you, on the gulf coast. Thanks for the video!
I haven’t seen that before. That setup would be nice. I prefer to puck them up as quickly as possible once dug as the sun has a negative effect on them. I farm mostly red clay. It holds water and nutrients well, but can be difficult to work. It is commonly called 30 minute dirt as there is typically 30 minutes when it is not to wet (sticks to everything) or to dry (hard).
@@PatrickShivers Hi Patrick! I'm about to send a really long comment in a little bit. I hope it helps you! I won't be offended if it is of no interest you, and sorry if it is too long! Thanks!
Don't feel bad we have to pick are taters up by hand to. I use a middle buster plow to dig are taters though. 👍
Made my back hurt lol
I enjoy your videos.my son and me farm turf we understand.
Boy my back hurts just watching this! But that’s some good eating though! Wash em up good, slice em and fry em.

Bud I hope you got a tater combine by now. If you are still using that lifter, put a truck mud flap on either side to windrow them.
We put some metal fenders on the back to windrow them. I need an old windrower to concentrate them once they are lifted.
I was raised in Idaho and we picked potatoes like this 50 years ago. I hated it. I’ll probably have flash back nightmares now.
🤣 My planter and digger are both 50+ years old

@@PatrickShivers I understood you. Thanks for the reply. And how are the bugs ? do they eat the tops much ? we have a huge harm from them (((

How long do you wait to dig taters after mowing the vines and weeds?
The amount of time varies per conditions. You’re waiting for the skin to set. It can take 7-21 days depending upon numerous variables. I check them every couple of days and see if the skin rubs off easily with my thumb.
