WE'VE GOT POTATOES! | Harvesting Potatoes at our Wisconsin Farm

- Опубліковано 20 вер 2022
- Did you know Wisconsin is #3 in the nation for potato production?! We're proud to help Wisconsin reach that rank! Each year we rent several fields to Alsum Farms, a local potato producer. Potatoes need sandier soil and irrigation so they can do their best and some of our fields fit that bill.
Follow the potatoes from field to fork!

We are New Age Custom Farming - a custom farming operation located in south-central Wisconsin. We custom farm corn, soybean and other forages, custom-raise heifers and have a herd of beef steers on our sixth-generation farm. From field to fork, we want to be a trusted resource for modern farming. We are your farmer friends - and are here to answer any questions you have!
Great job unloading the potatoes from the truck young lady
Great job running the bagger Avery
My Dad and Grandpop were the 2nd largest potato growers in the north east from 1936 to 1969. Grandpop died in November of 1968. The farm had already been sold but Dad was given the option to keep farming with only the cost of the upkeep of the farm. Dad decided to find someone else to lease the farm and our neighbor, Robert W. (Bob) England took on the lease. I farmed on shares with him from the spring of 1978 to the fall of 1884. We grew superiors mostly for chips with some early potatoes to market for repacks. Our farm in south Jersey is now a big industrial park just off exit 7a of the Jersey turnpike.
That is such a cool history! Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful dog
In my farm garden i grow a variety called Nicola. This year, besides in ground planting, I also planted in six cattle lick tubs with drip irrigation. With five sets in each tub, my yield was fantastic.
Awesome to hear!
Great video Emily and Avery

We can’t wait for potato harvest this year!
Super interesting video! Do you have any idea what the average yield per acre for potatoes is?
I’ll have to ask someone from Alsum Farms - I’ll get back to you!

I’m a little confused. Forgive me. You say way but you’re only dating him. So you’re not really part of the operation? Thank you for explaining God bless
Yes we are dating and yes I am also involved in the farm. There’s different things everyone does to keep it moving. Thanks for watching!
Dam your hot. What state are the potatoes grown in?
If this comment gets 2 likes you have to take a bite of one fresh out of the ground
*no*
You wasted eleven minutes on fluff non related to potatoes. Why are you wasting my time?
Just sharing the reality of the day on the farm. They weren’t able to pick the potatoes on the first day because it got too warm, but there was still other stuff going on that we could share. Thanks for watching.
