Given the recent weather I was shocked to see potatoes going in but it was great to catch up with Croskery Contracts and McCallister Potatoes.

Davy from Croskery Contracts with the New Holland T7.200 Auto Command with one on the Reekie working the beds and the other on the Grimme CS150 Destoner...

Great to get a chat with Davy in cab chatting about spuds and farming in general.

McCallister Potatoes with the Classic TS110 on the Horstine front fertiliser tank and the Kverneland Underhaug 3000 dropper.

With the early potatoes we see a smaller ridge left down the field with is then used to cover the potatoes with a Plastic cover with perforated holes in it to allow the potatoes to breath.

Plus we get a chat to Davy over his models and the working display he had at the toy shows last year.

Well I thought it was just sweetcorn they put under plastic.  

Interesting that they are putting in the potatoes so early but then again I guess they will be protected from the frost by the plastic covers.  That destoner is quite the beast and does a necessary job very well.  Another great job of filming and producing this video.

I don't know.  103GB of raw data will undoubtedly take more than just a "little bit" or at least it would for me.  

The use of machinery like the New Holland T7.200 Auto Command and the Grimme CS150 Destoner is crucial in modern agriculture for efficient soil preparation and planting. The Horstine front fertiliser tank and the Kverneland Underhaug 3000 dropper also play a significant role in ensuring the crops receive the necessary nutrients. Covering early potatoes with a plastic cover that has perforated holes is an interesting technique to protect the young plants from the elements while allowing them to breathe. It’s a smart adaptation to the recent weather challenges.

I'd sure like to see the price of large SSDs come down.  They are nice to have but they are still fairly expensive.  I was lucky to catch a sale and pick up two 13TB SSDs but even on sale they weren't cheap.
