Potato legs went very smoothly

28 April 2017 - Redactie Boerenbusiness

The planting of the potatoes went very smoothly this spring, from Zeeland to Groningen. Not all plots have been planted yet, but there are not many left either. This makes the planting season early in the books.

Arable farmers have now turned their attention to weed control and livestock farmers are busy injecting manure for silage maize.
