Sweet potato harvest

[@sarah_farm]

Your video is a great reminder of the value of patience and perseverance. It takes a lot of time and effort to grow and harvest melons and oranges, but the end result is so worth it. And the fact that you're able to make a living by selling them at the market is even more impressive. Keep up the great work! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

How many acres of potatoes and what variety do you plant?

[@williamsjesse85]

What kind of plow is it that you use to bring the potatoes up.

[@ryanfarmsproduce]

It’s a plastic mulch lifter. We’ve taken off the front coulters. Once you get it set right it works pretty good.

How u get rid of the dirt do u wash all those potatoes

[@ryanfarmsproduce]

That’s covered in the next video. Thanks for watching

[@amandaatdisney84]

could you not sell the little ones to a farmer for pig feed or cow feed that's what they do over here where I live.

[@kskorner74]

how did you harvest the potatoes?

[@TwoHappyChildrenFarm]

That smell melon is a tough one. Takes some discipline and time to overcome. I try to rotate to a vertical crop like tomatoes or sweet corn after vine crops for a year to clean up with directed sprays in the season. If not that, summertime fallow with cultivations when they flush to deplete the seedbank. In vine crops it is tough, try to eliminate as many as sprouted before runnning and then pray there aren't a lot of escapes. I think we're at a truce on the farm, but it's a constant battle.

[@ryanfarmsproduce]

Picking the seed balls up makes a difference, but never gets them all. Rotation should certainly help.

Couldn't get the job done without immigrants. "Just saying "

[@Chad-fh5zh]

Is that a mater Mac planter in the background? If so do you like that planter?

[@ryanfarmsproduce]

Yes it is. I do like it. I use it in some of my earlier videos planting sweet corn and greens.

[@Chad-fh5zh]

Where did you buy yours?

[@ryanfarmsproduce]

Ordered it from Market Farm Implement. Shipped it to me.

[@rayjil7435]

Do you wash them?

[@ryanfarmsproduce]

I’ll explain that in my next video

[@reyong4217]

Are there a lot of potatoes get left behind in the ground?

[@ryanfarmsproduce]

Some but most of them are not marketable. Thanks for watching.

[@ksister4224]

Do you ever allow the public to come in and pick the culled leftovers for their families?

[@ryanfarmsproduce]

We used to do it but not any more. Letting the public loose in our fields created a lot of problems. The only u-pick we do is for the greens. Sorry.
