Thanks for the explanation of the shelters on the farm. I never thought of potatoe storage. I love the covers on "The Book" and have saved them from a few years back.
I suppose there are privacy concerns or whatever but I wish they would give a bit of an story with the pictures.
I don't know if remenber last years cover. It was a gorgeous yard but some of the bins were totally inaccessable to a super B. Funny how yard design has changed over the years.

How many "bushels" per acre of potatoes can a guy produce?

The Victoria Secret Catalog?

It is a good wish book.

I recognize some of the yards on these covers. But, I understand why there are no names associated. As soon as your name and address gets in print there is often a stream of cold sales calls.

CP, the farmers that own that yard likely lifted 500# - 600# of potatoes last year.

Silverback, I'll take Giselle Bundchon over potato bins anyday.

CP I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong but 12-20 tonnes per acre of spuds?

[Braveheart]

Five to six hundred weight per acre this year. Some areas over seven.

Thanks for the potatoe info.

Mustardman 20 bucks says i know where your old one is-right by the shi@ter,just like mine.

I'll second that motion on giselle-what was dicaprio thinking letting her get away.

[Lifer]

I would think closer to 30 hundred weight per acre or about 550 bushels per acre

Just to make the Manitoban eyes pop out, according to our potato researcher here at the station, average potato yields here in the Brooks-Vauxhaul-Taber areas are 20 tons per acre with ranges as high as 30 with exceptional attention to nutrient, disease control and water management. Here at the station yields on trials of 38 tons/acre have been observed without heroic measures. 'Course all southern Alberta potatoes are grown with "electric rain".

Mel, AND a good conservative envoirnment that doesn`t inhibit expansion!!!!!!!

Interesting to see who will win the fight for water resources farmers, oilmen or city dwellers?
