Potato farming is HARD work with long days from sun up to sun down.

Once harvest is done you have to haul one truckload after another from your clamps to the buyer loadout clamps.

Usually a spud farmer hires a large number of hands (sometimes dozens) to do the harvest, then after the harvest is stored there are months of mechanical repair and upkeep, spud hauling, field dressing, flood mitigation, fixing irrigation lines, and hand-wringing before you get a break.

Many potato harvester tractors cost hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, and have a subscription access model built in to the software so you can't even repair your own tractor.

There is no Green Acres life in the modern world of farming. It is brutal just keeping the business afloat.

    @octade I grew up in Idaho. Do not speak to me of the deep potato farming, I was there when they wrote it.
