May - June• On an average we start to plant potatoes on
the 10. of May (ending about in the end of May. In the same time fertiliser goes to the soil.
• A day before planting we cultivate the field up to 15 cm

Hurry continues
• Soon after planting we shape the rows. About 3 weeks after planting starts the sparying of weeds. The spaying ends before the Midsummer week. Water usage is 200 l/hectare

July - August
• About the 10 of Jyly begins the spraying of the potatoe blight (potatoes are about 30 cm high). We have to do this 3-5 times during a season (400 l/hectare water and about 1l pesticide)
• In many years we get the first frost in the first week in August; after that we need not spray any more.

Sebtember-(October)The lifting of potatoes begins about 20.8. by lifting of seed
• Liftingmachine takes 2 rows at one time, speed is about 5-7 km/h, the output in good conditions is about 1 ha/ 2 h by 3 persons. Normally the lifting is over in September.
Potatoes are transported in boxes to the storage
