Potato planting

Our fields were finally dry, and I got the Red and Kennebec potatoes in the ground in two long rows.  I experimented with rototilling followed by a pass with a potato plow, then backfilling with the flattened bucket of the tractor.  It worked well on the float position, unless there was a lot of vegetable matter in the soil, which sometimes caught behind the bucket and scoured the potato groove.
