In Reply to: Growing potatos posted by oldironman on January 30, 2012 at 05:28:46:
I don't grow them for a living but I worked for a neighbor for a year who grows sweet potatos. What he did was kept potatos from the previous year and barried them in raised beds to get his plants. Then Mexicans come in a cut the plants and put them in milk creates. We used a hipper to then build up the rows for the plants. Then use a 4 row mechanical transplanter to set plants. Harvest goes 2 was. Either a 4 row inverter or a 2 row digger. The invertor just digs the potatos out of the ground and dumps them right back on top of the ground. Works well if you have the right amount of help. All of his equipment is built by Strickland Equipment out of NC minus the transplanter. Pretty good quality equipment. This equipment is used a on 100 to 400 acres of sweet potatos yearly. Hope this helps. I don't have any pics at the moment.
