What beautiful soil, we never were in such grand stuff up north. Our equipment was basiclly the same makes, tractor drawn Grimme with a windrower on each, never stood idle plus a Grimme self propelled, we had an extender swift lift,it had to be full all the time, grader was also a Downes, but made to our boss's spec, when going was rough, we needed 8 on the grader & another 4 on the conveyers, we lifted 550+ acres each year, some for firms pack house, but mainly for Walkers crisps.
Welcome back. Hope you enjoyed your week away. Those are some good sized tatties there. New elevator seems to be some bit of kit. Especially being able to slue it without having to move it completely. 😊
Great video, nice to see how you pick and store your crop. Lots of hard work and commitment into growing potatoes,Very informative nice to explain how you work the elevator and the costs involved,you should be proud of yourself to produce a sample of potatoes that look perfect 👌.Well done too all the family and everyone involved,keep up the great work 👍
Looks a nice sample Rob few nice sized leaders in a bag. Let’s hope Joe Public is prepared to pay a descent price for all your hard work and gamble on growing them. Conveyor working a treat making storage a simpler job
"Hell of a crop of taters." The new elevator seems to be doing a good job making a nice heap and making things easier for you. What variety of potatoes do you grow.
Ahdb potato no longer exists, that’s how much faith they have in the potato market ….. it’s done so people like the “big growers” can control the market
when we grew vegetables for market , we probably grew 6/7 main crops , we had a chap who worked with us he was a great horse racing man who like a bet who used to do doubles and trebles i never really understood betting terminology , he said you do the same with growing 6/7 vegetable crops, but i know quicker if my bet has paid of
Looks a very good crop to me, is it the irrigation that seems to almost eliminate the 'smalls' I get from my garden plot? Excellent video, thanks for finding time to make it.

Nice crop Rob, what variety are they?
Sagitta !!
Nice potatoes, price is good at the minute,we are paying £13/17 a sack trade, what you sell yours for ?
A lot of people have packed up spuds around here or grow less ,its about time they were marketed better ,what happened to AHDB Potato ?
Ahdb potato no longer exists, that’s how much faith they have in the potato market ….. it’s done so people like the “big growers” can control the market
when we grew vegetables for market , we probably grew 6/7 main crops , we had a chap who worked with us he was a great horse racing man who like a bet who used to do doubles and trebles i
never really understood betting terminology , he said you do the same with growing 6/7 vegetable crops, but i know quicker if my bet has paid of
Is it true that if a potato turns green after being exposed to light it becomes poisonous to eat.?
No , no , no , it’s fine to eat , whoever has told you that 🤦🏻♂️😂
How many acres to do you grow of potatoes ?
25/28 acres
27 tonne ? or 270 tonne
How much are spuds for a 25 kilo bag?
Price goes up and down each week

Looks a very good crop to me, is it the irrigation that seems to almost eliminate the 'smalls' I get from my garden plot?
