Bonjour , très impressionnant de voir de si grande parcelle planté à la main ! j'ai hâte de voir le suivi cultural ainsi que la récolte ! Bon travail 👍👍👍 je m'abonne ! A +
Great video as always, loved the historical photograph. Back in 1967 we had a Massey Ferguson two row automatic planter, as a 20 year old working between stints at collage my father taxed me with potato planting, he did not take any prisoners the rows had to be perfectly straight period. As you guys will know it is never ending tiny adjustments on every round. Farther used to say do not go narrow when straightening, if you know you know. The modern day GPS is brilliant.
Very interesting and indepth “tutorial” jersey royals are expensive to bye, but showing the high labour and machinery requirement the high margins are a must, the history photo was brilliant, i take it that JR were also grown then, if so what would the market be like in them days!! but thats the problem with history there are to many Q, thanks, love your vids.
We will use the planter and have just started. All down to ground conditions and also wanting to harvest them as quickly as possible, we delay harvest by around 2 weeks when using the planter.
Yes it can be but it’s an issue with our roads and field entrances. We’ve just had a front subsoiler made for the front which you’ll see in the videos next time we have some dry weather.
Loving the videos. Be nice to sit down and talk about farming in Jersey while the Germans occupied the island . Where you still growing Jersey early potatoes. Would be interesting.
I dread to think what all those hands cost, I am interested to know if you have compared yield/quality/margin by using a cup planter on anything but the steepest fields?. Sizing seed can be done by machine followed by putting in trays randomly to chit without standing them all up. I guess space, regularity and preservation of chit leading to an even crop is critical along with hand planting and picking being undeniably the gentlest and best for maximum quality/yield?
Reminds me of my days on the Grimme Commander, other end of the season though, lol 🤝 🍻
Thanks for showing us how it's all done. Very interesting. All the best 🇬🇧.
Thanks for watching 👍
impressive great video
Thanks for watching 👍

Well done all best to you all happy heavy cropping in everything hopefully this year that you grow.from us in sherwood forest😊
Thank you and you !
Interesting video, used to work on a farm in the 90s we grew 200 acres of main crop time consuming work but rewarding.
very good work, thanks for the french audio
No problem sorry the next one won’t be. When I upload from my phone I can’t access the French subtitles.
Great vid as usual , just wonder why you don't use a planter on the bigger fields
We will use the planter and have just started. All down to ground conditions and also wanting to harvest them as quickly as possible, we delay harvest by around 2 weeks when using the planter.
Thanks for the video, very good. Is tillage on the front of the tractor also an option? Great how I see that whole group of people working hard.
Yes it can be but it’s an issue with our roads and field entrances. We’ve just had a front subsoiler made for the front which you’ll see in the videos next time we have some dry weather.
Brilliant video. Would like to see an AgXeed demo machine on your slopes.
I’ve just looked these up, definitely would need to try and find a contact!
@ Good luck!
Loving the videos.

Surprised you don't open up plant and ridge in one go with some videos I've seen.
Maybe in the future but early on planting by hand ensures we get the earliest crop possible. The Grimme Exacta looks like a great machine.
Why do you not use a 2 row potatoe planter ?
Thanks, we do use these and have just started. But we always keep planting by hand to ensure some of the crops as early as possible.

What is the fluid in the tank on the disc tractor ? Is it for ballast
No fungicide for skin finish on the potatoes. But not always used depends on the field.
where the heck are they getting all that help
Hi our teams made up of a variety of nationalities. We have people from Jersey, UK, Poland, Portugal and the Philippines.
