We’ve got a BIG day of chisel plowing ahead of us!
Today we’re running two tractors trying to get ground ready for potato season. Before we even hit the field, I’ve got to do some maintenance—greasing the chisel plow, swapping out air filters, and dealing with an exhaust leak that sounds way worse than it actually is.
Once we get rolling, we’re covering some serious acres. If everything goes right, we can knock out around 200 acres in a day—but with fuel costs, cold weather, and a TON of ground left to do, it’s a race against time.
We also talk about:
The reality of potato contracts and why we can’t just cut back acres
How low prices could impact farmers this year
Fixing things on the fly (including a pivot tower cover)
And a pretty cool surprise… a goose nest out in the field
This is what real spring fieldwork looks like—long days, big equipment, and getting it done no matter what.
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
