Planting Potatoes

Uploaded: May 18, 2008

Description

We started planting potatoes yesterday.
Photo was taken when the planter and tractor were stopped. They were adjusting the spacing of the potatoes. Seeds run from the planter into the hopper, picker arms turn and pick the seed then drop the seed into the row. You can also see the fertilizer in the shoot.
