It’s that time of year where Paul Jackson is out on his tractor from early morning to late evening bringing in the farms main potato crop. “This harvest we’ve been blessed with good weather and a great crop of potatoes”, says Paul. “We’re now working non-stop to get the main crop in.” Paul was born and raised at the farm and remembers as a boy helping with the main potato harvest. “Farming was in my blood and I loved working with my Dad during the busy harvest. As a boy I remember going to bed in my wellingtons so I could be up and ready early to get started the next day,” laughs Paul. But Paul’s wife Wendy draws the line at that!
How to cope at Harvest? Just sleep in your wellies!
