Brian Sackett replied to Justin Hagedorn's discussion How far would you travel for land?
"My advice would be to rent the ground. 25 mile is not bad to travel. We are traveling up to 50 mile to find good ground to farm. When we first started we passed up ground that far away and now we wish we had it under our control. They do not make…"

What a place. My 15 year old son and I raise cattle, but he has always loved potato farming for some reason. We have some friends that farm around 400 acres, nothing as large as your place. If we ever get to get off the farm and go out that way we would love to stop in and witness an operation like yours. 

 

Pretty impressive.

Thanks! We have always run red but it is tempting to switch with the good trading programs that JD has.

Ya well were done with that risk we discided to buy insurance for the whole crop. I don't think we could fo it two years in a row

By the brain did you get hit as bad as we did with thAt frost during last season harvest. We left about 450 acers in the field and then we had to haul about 4000 ton out of storage because we put them in there to cold and they broke down

We have tried Lenco. Didn't work as good as Wemco in our conditions. Were do you get your seed from.

YOu were right. That is a Grimme Tectron 415. I saw this machine in Canada. He really likes it. I am a little scared if it can dig bruise free. Our farm has 6 WEMCO diggers. Have you ever heard of a WEMCO. I pull a Spudnik 6440 with a full with multisep table. Grimme is really trying to convince us to buy a Grimme Tectron 415. They say it is the most bruise free digger in Europe.

SOB. Is that a Lemco digger? How do you like it. Is bruise a factor wereyou are at.
