Description

Darwin Eisenga is a potato farmer with 25 years of experience, and in his spare time, he loves tractor pulling competitions.  He just traveled to Indonesia to visit his daughter, he has a son in college, a son on the farm, and a wife that works alongside him.  His advice for people dealing with bugs on their potatoes?  “Just buy them from us.”     

Listen as Darwin talks about:

• How technology has improved accuracy, saved time and fuel, plus reduced the effects of sluggishness
• Why you miss the farm after you go away from it
• The delicate balance of the potato industry
• Telling people he’s a farmer in another country
• The relief of harvest and the freedom of summer – plus the list of things to do at home
