BCS America was nice enough to let us try a used Spedo Potato Digger and today we put it through the paces as we get it out in the garden and put it to work. Mike throws in a few puns and a few potato facts.
I definitely think that implement, at least least in that design, would be one you'd want to pass on.

Here we show Jess doing some preg checks on a 1 and 2 year old heifers
While the first comment about changing gloves between cows probably is a valid one, just remember what you could be doing on a Monday.
I need to get out of the city, drive a country mile
Get back to my roots, before two worlds collide
I want sausage biscuit gravy, sweet tea from a jug
So jump into my pickup truck, and I’ll fire it upWe burn our trash out in the backyard in a barrel
We feed our dogs and cats our table scraps
We get our eggs straight from the hen house, and our water from a well
Dig our onions and our taters from the ground
Yippee yi yo, yippee yi yay, I’m feelin' kind of haggard todayI want to get out on the river, catch a mess of fish
Throw a big ol’ party, that you don’t want to miss
We’ll have washer pits and horseshoes, shine and chocolate pie
'Cause when I’m on the swing with her it makes me almost high
Reminds me of traveling in Western Pennsylvnia, smelling the cow shit, the burnt plastic in the burning barrels, the oil wells, the kerosene and coal smoke from the rural homes. Beautiful, wild country, even if it's been blasted away from the explosions of powder and the coal mining.
I never knew much about the Amish and certainly had never seen inside the house of Amish farm family. This is a very interesting video to watch. While I doubt I would ever be into being into being Amish or religious there is a lot of things common the way a lot of off-griders live and it's pretty neat.
I always like catching up to see what Dale is up to these days.
