Planting 1,200 acres of potatoes in just 7 days is an impressive feat! efficiency and coordination that modern farming techniques and machinery bring to such a massive task.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It takes a lot of work and planning to pull it off, but it’s worth it!

[@kendog0731]

This is what should be shown in schools so people actually know how they eat and the time and money it takes to simply get a potato. Keep it up.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I’ve tried talking to the local schools to see if they would show any of it but so far no luck. thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@SmartAgriculturalMachines]

I completely agree with you! It's incredible to see the effort and resources involved in planting and harvesting potatoes. Have you ever wondered about the challenges these farmers face during the planting season? What other crops do you think require just as much dedication and hard work?

I live in New Zealand and moved out of town to a two acre block surrounded by paddocks which have grown wheat, ryegrass and potatoes. It’s amazing how farming is done, the machinery and dedication of the farmers and contractors. I am always enthralled to see something new from season to season. They all deserve more credit because it’s a hard life and they battle the market and the weather. Thanks to all farmers for making our food.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Farming is definitely hard there have been a lot of farmers around us who have quit farming because they couldn’t make any money. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.

[@joelebloggsnz]

Yeah, as a fellow Kiwi, I'm amazed at the size of these American farms, I mean 1200 acres is almost 5km squared; that's insane!

[@Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming]

Seeing a potato farm takes me back to my time as a 13 year old here in the UK potato picking. We would be picked up by the farm lorry at 5am, then work filling 1 tonne wooden crates with potatoes that you would pick by hand. As a 13 year old, I earned more than £100 a week (about $170 at the exchange rates of the time) doing that backbreaking work from 6am to 5pm for a few weeks every year.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

That sounds like a lot of work. I’m glad we don’t do it that way anymore. It would be hard to find people to work that anymore. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Clarkson's farm has got me incredibly interested in farming lately. The machinery, the technology and how it's all done is incredible. Already held farmers in high regard for the amount of hard work they do, and that's only increasing with every video I watch, even the logistics that go on to make all this come together is amazing. Thanks for taking the time to share your incredible work and help educate people on the work that goes into putting food on their plates.

[@geedubb-q1u]

An awesome operation you have there. Last year my wife threw some old potatoes in the compost pile. A few weeks later we noticed the leaves so we took them out, planted them and later that season I dug up at least a dozen lol. So they’re not hard to grow.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

They’re not hard to grow, but you have to keep a close eye on them because there’s a lot of diseases that can affect them. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

[@B_Rad4Real]

I remember planting potatoes with my grandfather. We would sty up the night before cutting the eyes off that we planted. Man miss those memories for sure. We would have a 1/2 acre of potatoes the rest all vegetation you could think of that would grow in the south Texas area. We planted 1 1/2 acre of groceries and dang those veggies was the better than what you buy in the stores now. Homegrown is the best without all them chemicals the government wants yall to put on them. Yeah while it took some to keep the bugs, insects,etc away but dang love me some homemade veggies. Keep up the great work!!!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Thanks for sharing your story and thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@Neverdie242]

That's what I remember as a young boy, helping my dad plant potatoes in Northeast Arkansas. We had what was called a middle buster and I would drive the A Farmall and dad would walk behind the tractor with his hands on the plow. I was 8 or 9 and the tractor was in first gear so he could keep up. Then we dropped the potatoes by hand then we would cover them by hand with a hand rake. It was hard work to plant a 1/2 of potatoes. By the way, this is my first time watching your videos, Doug.

[@rogerpavlis8184]

I always wondered how potatoes were planted now days. Several years ago I found this horse drawn potato planter at my in-laws place in South Dakota. I brought it home and restored it. It uses a similar principle in that it skewers the potatoes from the hopper and drops them in the ground and then has disks to cover them up.

[@notvaporlocked5479]

Back in the 80’s a couple pivots were planted south of Holcomb in SW Kansas as a test. I didn’t hear how it panned out. I know planting per acre costs were much much higher compared to corn and soybeans but the potential for return was said to be really good.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah, the return on potatoes is much more than any other crop that we have seen but they are also harder to manage

Did anyone else hear this April about a water war imminent in Idaho ? Even with all of the rain and snow the last two years ( thanks to that submerged volcano popping two years ago in Hunga Tonga) the inept 'authorities' are claiming the farmers can't irrigate hundreds of thousands of acres of crops this year.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah it’s going to be bad there’s over 100,000 acres that will not be able to get watered. It might even be close to 500,000 acres. The bad thing is everybody’s crops were already planted and then they told them they couldn’t water them. Luckily, we are not affected because most of our farm is watered with surface water.

[@dmcnamara9859]

Lotta of farms in Idaho are " dry farmed" the planting of beets and potatoes is done in sync with seasonal rains and spring run off from winter snow. Less output production wise than a irrigated farm,yet more cost effective considering the depth and cost for drilling wells; not mention electricity and diesel needed to keep well pumps operating around the clock for the expensive mobile irrigating sprinklers.

[@AnontheGOAT]
