Potatoes were one of my first garden crops. It gave me such pleasure to harvest them and use them in the kitchen. Now that I am following a low carb / keto genic lifestyle and have a handle on managing my metabolism, the potato is just a memory of a garden crop.

Planting, irrigation, harvesting, storage, and selection sure has changed over the years but the hard-working people who bring spuds to the table have not. Definitely watching more videos. Thanks!!

my dad was a big beef cattle farmer when i was young. He use to give the steers the left over potatoes and chips from herrs potatoes' chips factory with string beans from Hanover and cookies and molasse's with left over malt liquor from Michters Distillery in Newmanstown. It was a huge feedlot operation at the time. I learned alot then and will never forget.

[@BellsFarming]

Thank you for sharing your story with me! And thank you for the watching:)

[@johnspecht72]

I have been watching footage of grain farming as that is what my family has done but, I was interested in seeing how other crops are farmed. Like others we gardened potatoes and it is nothing like farming them full time. I have watched a few of your videos now and I am impressed with how you have done so many different jobs. To my eye you have excelled at each. My mother and sisters were not involved with the farm work and I wish that they had as I think that that would have been a good thing. We were all involved in the gardens and the chicken and pigs I believe. Being a full participant in the farm like you are is wonderful to see. Thank you for providing an incite into this and giving my memories of my youth a boost!!

[@BellsFarming]

Thank you for the compliment, I do really love what I am learning and hope maybe it will inspire others to do the same. I’m glad I was able to spark some good memories! Thank you for watching!

We did that too with a exactly same model forklift, then we went to box storage . Much cleaner operation and less bruising. The downside is of course the weather cover one needs for the empty boxes. Cheers from a Finnish potato farm.

@brianog5267 here in Iowa, some people see farmers as rich, lazy, mizers who collect government welfare and subsidies, and don't "share the wealth ", and pollute the environment. Usually these people live in town and have no clue where food comes from beyond the grocery store shelf. The rest of us who grew up in rural areas know otherwise.
