How To Grow Potatoes

Planting potatoes on Hollin Farms with tree planter. The tree planter plows open a furrow and the potatoes pieces are dropped into the earth. The furrow is closed by two heavy duty tires that push the earth back together. We are planting nearly 800 pounds for dig-your-own next to the peach orchard. This year some of the potatoes are red ones from the high Andes region in Bolivia and Peru. Virginia Young Farmer of the year, Matthew Davenport explains.
