I had Kennebeck potatoes left from last years garden in a wooden basket in my basement ! They had eyes about a foot long on some and some beautiful looking little new growth buds on them. So ,I trimmed them down and pieced them up to pretty small pieces and planted them yesterday . I put the piece about six inches deep and throw a couple handfuls of cow manure and compost on them before covering them! This is the latest I ever planted my patch and using only my own seed stock .We shall see!

[@BellsFarming]

Awesome! Good luck! I hope they are the best potatoes you have ever grown!🥔🚜💚😊

Five truck loads of seed potatoes is a lot. Shows just how big of an operation it is that you have. Fixing the tank and mounting it was good, relatively simple. A good show and tell on that big corn planter would be nice. Much more industrial than I have ever seen. Those two tanks on each planter and the big tank on its own trailer.

[@BellsFarming]

[@hughmarcus1]

Great insight into how you farm in this part of the US. The splitting of the seed potatoes is interesting. The practice in Europe is to kill off the potato crop early if you’re growing seed potatoes. They’re then small enough to be handled by the planter. As these crops are harvested earlier than eating potatoes there’s usually a follow on crop in the ground immediately after harvesting.

[@BellsFarming]

Yes! I have learned that from some other viewers too! I thought seed cutting was what everyone does! Thank you for commenting!

[@hughmarcus1]

@@BellsFarmingIt’s an efficient way to use seed potatoes though. I’m in Ireland & in my early 60s. I remember when I was a boy, my granny & 2 old sisters of my grandfather sitting in a shed for days splitting seed potatoes by hand. These were put into long wooden boxes. They were then taken to the field & planted by hand. They grew most of their own food. Those were simpler times. All they knew was hard work 👍

It sure makes the day go by a lot faster, such a sense of accomplishment in the process as well. Of course working side by side with your spouse doesn’t hurt either. Oh and I saw the other two videos on Averageshot I especially liked the “Battleship” challenge. Derricks wife Maranda knocked it out of the park!👍🏼👍🏼 I wanted to let Shane know I’ve been researching my fathers Korean military service and I have learned that he was in the 82nd Airborne (thank goodness they weren’t called into battle) but he qualified as expert marksman the gun they used was the M1E8 (M1D) was fitted with a M73 in a block mount sight, also known as the M81 sight (with crosswires) or the M82 (with post). Ancient compared to what y’all are using.
