  2. The Potato Crop

    Share Share Post
    On our farm we grow potatoes. We plant about one acre of potatoes every year. The amount is very variable. Our Father prepares the ground. He ploughs it, harrows it. It is not manured in any way.
    The potatoes are sown in drills with a drill plough. Then he draws out the manure in carts. The potatoes before being sown are cut into pieces with a knife and there must be a bud in each piece. A plough is used instead
