Gotta love the Idaho weather. Can’t make its mind up.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Right it’s been almost 50° this week and now it’s snowing today

[@averywilkinson2810]

@@RockyMountainFarmer Right. And then back to almost in the 50s next weekend

[@JoeWoolley-rf5fq]

Great videos. FYI I have the same welder , I sit a small fan blowing on the fins into the welder to help it cool works great . You will get more weld time out of it. Also when it overheats it will reset quicker . Hope this little tip helps you Thanks for sharing . 👍👍👍

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Thanks for the tip!

The longer videos are great for amount of content we are allowed to absorb.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

[@justinmills8084]

I think it's cool 😎 that your brothers work so well together. Most families have a hard time working together without grumpy brothers.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It can be hard sometimes

[@briangardner9826]

I agree that the longer videos are great keep up the great work. I really enjoy the videos thanks.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

LOL at the duel wielding ball peen hammers. 👍🏻

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It didn’t want to come off

[@maineman11]

@@RockyMountainFarmer I know that strife. When things don't want to cooperate, it's time to get the 'persuader' out. lol, good job.

[@larryaswdder2bvvae3taylorc60]

yes long is good nice to b able to understand what takes place with all this equipment.i just wouldnt want the repair bill that goes with it. nice that u dont have to send them to the dealer to fix so u can save lots of money for other things on the farm

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Glad you’re enjoying the videos. It is nice that we can repair a lot of stuff ourselves.

[@johnschomburg5003]

Good video. It's nice to see potato planter work. So, the oldest Airecup that is getting sold is 20 years old? How old is the other one? It's neat to see that you guys are sticking with the Lockwood Airecups. I am interested with how the new one will compare to the old. Thanks.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

The other one is a 2009. We are all excited to see the new one work

[@kelvinstecklein1580]

i like longer one

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Awesome thanks for the input

[@justinmills8084]

It looks like a bigger shop would be on your list you need?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Definitely on the list

[@carlbarstow4597]

like the long videos

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Thanks for the input

[@MrCrazycook8]

Did you get the water problem fixed in that cellar?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yes we did. We hope to get those potatoes out soon

[@anstromwally6708]

What is the row spacing for spuds? If it’s different than corn, do you use different tractors specific for each crop?

[@MrChrisdamien]

Most russet potatoes in Idaho are 34” or 36” spacing. Most guys use the same tractor for multiple crops and if needed they change the tire spacings

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Ours are 36 inches. We use our tractors for almost all of our crops with the exception of the track machines. We can’t use them in hay because it tears up the ground when you turn.

[@ileenmcminn2062]

Have you shipped the cellar that flooded?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We haven’t yet because of the sprouting in the other cellar

[@ileenmcminn2062]

Show us some good spuds being loaded out to see the difference.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I will when we get into some. We have to get out the bad cellars first

[@ileenmcminn2062]

Do you run 34" or 36" rows?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

36

[@korosenbrand3046]

Is it not possible to weld the holes in the suction pipes closed, instead of closing them with duct tape.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We don’t have the ability to weld that type of metal.

[@Arham7cheema]

When you will start potato planting

[@TrevorTolman]

We will start planting potatoes around the end of April. Weather permitting at least.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We usually shoot for 19th of April

[@ileenmcminn2062]

That new 12 row Spudnik planter won't fit in the shop unfolded. You are getting a Spudnik aren't you?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Hopefully next year but not the 12 row

[@skydom1000]

How’s the potato market?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Last year was good. I know this year is down a little bit.

[@seansquirrell]

Sprouts are not any fun to scoop. We were old school pick lookwoods and before those we had Logan cup planters. Still can hear the click click click. NICE spud bake that bad boy up!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Your right sprouts are not fun. We will bake some someday
