Jamison Potatoes getting some more Maris Piper planted on Easter Monday with some cracking land which we seen the ploughing in back in February.

The first process in the field is ridging up the drills for destoning. David in the John Deere 6155R with the ridger on the back pulling up the ridges with full use of the John Deere Green Star GPS System. Not only does this ensure full use of the field but also makes the following jobs much easier when following.

Niall on the John Deere 6130R with the Jones bed former working the ridged beds with a Patterson Bedtiller working down the larger clods and lumps into a finer profile for the destoner which will remove any large objects and stones. On the rear of the machine we have two ridge bodies to keep the beds neat.

Nigel in the John Deere 6155R with the Grimme CS150 destoner working across the field removing clods and stones from the beds. When it comes to harvest time this gives a cleaner sample in the box for easier sorting.

Once destoned we have the planter, Adrian in the John Deere 6610 with the Grimme front hopper which is applying Yara Topcrop fertiliser. Planter on the rear is a Grimme blah cup planter. Fertiliser is places in the same line as the potatoes which gives them a kick start in the growing process. As we move to the rear of the planting setup we can see the hopper is never filled this is to ensure that the little buds/eyes dont get damaged. As the cups move around they gather a baby spud and deliver it to the bottom unit. It is then dropped into a channel and placed with a specific distance to the next one and then as we spin around we have a blah which then covers over the baby potatoes and gives the finished drill...
