Last year was so frantic that upwards of 10 farmers showed up with their huge harvest equipment to assist a single farmer who was frantically trying to preserve a harvest before a forecast 20F evening arrived. The consequence was about 80% was rescued in time.

Harvest sector be October but I know they moved it up when studies showed potatoes harvested at cooler temperatures bruised more. I recall frosty sixteen hour days in the fields. One year we worked fields far from the owner’s home. We harvest workers ate sack lunches we brought from home. Unfortunately the owners took off to the home for lunch and forgot to give us our lunches which had been stashed in their pickup. We were stuck with muddy raw potatoes with a nail file to cut it up.
