Matt and Amanda were home for the weekend. We really enjoyed their company. But the time goes by so quickly. Specially when we are digging during the day. At least we had a good dinner together on Saturday with everyone. And Salsa and nachos last night.
And as I had promised, here are a few digging pictures.
Here, Klaas is wind rowing 4 rows of potatoes together in between the two that I pick up with the digger.
This is a truckload of Red Norland potatoes leaving the field. In front of the tractor, you can see the two rows that the digger picks up. By this time, 8 rows have been deposited in between, so the digger picks up ten rows at a time.
Above you can see the unloading line at the farm. Here the dirt, rocks and other undesirables get picked out. It takes about 18 people to make all this equipment work efficiently.
This last picture shows the binpiler. As the name suggests, it piles the potatoes in the bin. Beats doing it by hand.........

We really enjoyed having you over on Saturday. I can't have Thanksgiving without my family.

Have a great day. Karen
