I can maybe fill you in on the potatoes in Posen. Years ago we were all lumbermen in Posen and practiced a more subsistance type farming. In the early 1900's there was a fire that started in the town of Metz and it burned most of Preque Isle county including most of Posen township. With the forests mostly gone the people turned to farming an occupation many of them knew from their respective countries in Europe. Us Pollacks in Posen I guess didn't know you couldn't grow potatoes on the mellow loam soil. We planted them and they grew and raised our families for generations. Finally the experts from Michigan State came and informed us that our farms were best suited for hunting camps and TB infested deer, and probably should have been given back to the Indians. With this new found knowledge most of the potato farmers went out of business and now in Posen there are just 2 families raising potatoes. Slow learners I guess.
