Mechanical Digger Cuts Potato Harvest Costs on Lulu Island
A new pota to digging machine at Leslie Gilmore’s Lulu Island farm harvests five to six rows daily with minimal human labor. It digs two rows at a time then lays spuds in neat ground rows while a follow-on unit sifts soil and removes debris. This system, plus a pickup conveyor, aims to lower harvesting costs on 100 acres or more as pota toes move to storage bins for drying and packing. In 1945 Canadian family allowance payments ran at 17.5 million monthly. current monthly cost is 20.5 million.
