@gardnep13 днів тому
Great to see Molly’s enthusiasm for tractor work. The soil seems to be an alluvial loam with the right balance of sand, silt and clay to make it susceptible to compaction. I think some of the compaction is caused by the potato digger that pushes the soil below down, while it’s damp. The digger probably has a continuous chain that, as well as lifting the spuds, presses the soil behind it. Where I come from most commercial potatoes are grown under centre pivot on ancient sand dunes, where there is little compaction and washing is reduced.
@BellsFarming11 днів тому
The soil is on the sandy side. It’s all river bed soil. Thank you for observations!

@LtColDaddy7112 днів тому
As a proponent of no till, and cover crops, farming biologically not chemically, I also subscribe to the idea of “context.” Potato production at scale is tricky. You seem to have a system that minimizes the negative impact on soil health, and still produce a vital product to feed the world. I respect that a lot.

Observation from a farmer who has ran deere's the last forty five years, the 30 series and I mean older like 4430 through the 60 series like 4960 the tilt on the steering wheel was built well. Starting on the 8000 series the tilt has a lot more plastic and is pretty janky;) tilt them up and down gently and they last...slam them down and they get sloppy loose rather quickly;) Lots of tater's raised under water over here in west central Minn for the fry market.
