The Common-Tater
Here’s what we have planned for this May long weekend. Field by field by field, we’ll be planting the crop as shown in this video. Johnny operates the planter, but he can’t start until RJ has worked the land and Curtis has spread the fertilizer. As for me, I’ll be buzzing them with my drone in between my endless paperwork. It really does take all of us to get the crop planted. Whatever you’re doing, have fun and take care! You can visit “Tater Tales May 17th” to see another video of our potato planter.

And they’re off! This short video shows our seed potatoes tumbling along the cutting line into the bulk truck. They’ll be transported to the field where John is planting our crop. The truck doesn’t leave the farm until it’s full, so clearly there is a lot of cutting to do yet! You can visit “Little Seed Potatoes” to learn more about seed potatoes.
Is this a recap of 2023 or a preview of what we’ll be doing in 2024? I leave it up to you to decide. (And whatever you decide you will be right, since both options are actually true!) Enjoy this montage of some of the work we do here around the farm from early spring to late fall. You can visit “The Compelling Combine” and “The Hypnotic Harvester” to see more videos of our farm equipment in action.
Brilliant sunshine and vivid colours seem to be a distant memory for those of us living in dreary, gloomy, gray Southern Ontario. I can’t remember the last time we had some sunshine. These photos of the beautiful, sunny days we had last summer should cheer you up. Here’s hoping the sun will come out again one day soon! You can visit “Buds & Blossoms” to see some colourful spring flowers I found when I was out and about here at the farm.
