I have been eating potatoes for more than 70 years and never had a clue what a fragile, labor intensive crop they were, including all the specialized handling equipment, and storage requirements. They have to be one of the best values in a supermarket. Videography is not only first class but also has a highly educational component to it. Another great video from the A team of potato farmers 👍🏻

I love how you explained things as you brought us along from ground prep to storage to bags. Potatoes are a beautiful crop and I always felt there was magic not seeing them until out of the ground. So versatile in preparation for the table, and relatively cheap. Thank you for sharing, thank you for gracing our tables with your magic.

Another Class A video Molly. I found the aerial video especially beautiful because it showed the foliage as the leaves are changing colors and form a great background showcasing the beauty of Maine in the fall. Does look a little tight and demanding to do storage in those bins. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. Must be great to have all the extra free time 😁. Just wonder when you all get to just relax a bit.

My ancestors were farmers in southern Illinois after the Civil War. Small farms, 100 acres or less. No machinery, just people and animals and basic equipment. I wonder what they would make of modern farming? All the powered equipment and technology, like video on the Spudnik to see into the load trucks. It would probably seem like magic to them. Thanks for the video, Molly.

The rigors of moving storages , The constant awareness of not running over the cord and pulling it out of the box . One time that happened to me . I instructed my helper to unplug the cord and move it to the next plug . Little did I know he would go plug it back in while I was stripping and making the new ends . Needless to say it was electrifying , I fired him on the spot . The rest of the crew was standing around wondering WTF is wrong with him , I looked like the cartoon character , Yosemite Sam ... Oh the stories I can tell ... Thanks M&S , always enjoy ....

Hello Molly, Aunty Michelle and all the crew. Sadly I have put the bike in the hay barn for the winter😪. I had one long last ride up north to Parry Sound, Ontario for a “boys nite”. Foliage colours were spectacular and the weather was perfect. After seeing your drone footage and seeing the leaves, I must say, I was very temped to take a demo bike from my inventory, fake a cold and book it down there. If you recall my 3 husks of corn story, I was thinking of adding a Potatoes in the Saddlebag, (potato salad??) chapter. lol..Nothing to declare? ahahahahah Nope! Keep up the great videos. My visit was and still is one of the highlights of my vacation. Stay healthy and safe! Peace, Biker Mark.
