Michigan "Taters"

On our way up Friday, we met a few trucks loaded with potatoes. After a little research on the internet, we found out Michigan, according to their potato website, produces more new and chip potatoes than any other state. After some "Private Investigating", we discovered some fields where they were still digging. That was our first job of the day, seeing if they were working. Sure enough, they were, may not be of interest to all of you, but we enjoyed watching something we had never seen. Those machines are pretty good size and dig (best we can figure) about 4-6 rows at a time. They dig, shake dirt, throw plants and debris, separate rocks and load the trucks, all at the same time! (Note the old military trucks!) Here's some pictures of the operation. Threw in the one of the sign, just because it was on the road beside where they were working, besides, how many have been to this little spot?
