Planting Taters With 100+ Year Old Bull Tongue Plow / Appalachia/ Metcalf Mills 

A family to brag Abt ❤️ !!! Justro you are a great Dad !!

I sure do love the sound of that creek flowing beside the tater field. Music to my ears. Mmmm! Green beans and taters with lots of black pepper and real butter! Sweet Dreams Char! Great job guys!😊🦋🌷🦋🌷🦋

Wow that’s amazing Virginia did a great job stearing that gas powered draft horse how lucky are they to get so much driving experience so early even had bear helping 😊

Keep your eyes pointing towards the "Son"...always good for growth. Good looking tater patch!

Looks like y’all got a good system going there my friend. Hope y’all have a great tater harvest. Praying Char gets to feeling better soon. 🙏🏻😇🙌🏻❤️

What a fast and efficient idea! Donkeys, mules and a horse back in the day but now a motor car 😂 Hope un's get a huge harvest Justro. Taterterian 😁

Awesome thanks Tater Terrian . Glad you gound some time to plant. I was going to this week guess its going to be in-between rain. . Send the girls hugs and love to all. 👍💯❤️🙏

I sure would use one if I had one. Great helpers you got there. My Gracie helps me alot. Good to see ya brother hope you are well take care.

Virginia is doing a fantastic job backing that utv

Enjoyed the video Justro. I see Honda built a mule too. Lol. It works great. Great driver too. Y'all take care and God bless.

I love the old ways of doing things. No mule, but the Honda mule works great.

I would have never thought of this and makes quicker work of it. (Well done Virginia.❤️) Great workout Justin and Bear.👏 Hope Char feels better soon.💗 I so love potatoes too!

I'm 63. My Daddy was a sheep and wheat farmer, but he never taught me anything about plowing ( or raising sheep). I have learned more from you about what tools are for what, than I ever learned from him. I never knew you had to rip, disc and plow. I won't tell you what I have tried to do..

We’ll done. I can see the effort put into this one. Keep it up! Have a great week you three!

We are doing this tomorrow. Thanks for teaching! Awesome video!

Bear looked like he was a top tater inspector 😂 just makin sure y’all did it rite 😂

I enjoyed that. Blended the old ways with the new "mule". Good to see old Bear in the tater patch. Them eyes gotta be up I like to say they are looking up to the Lord to bless them and make them grow.

That looks like a hard job! It’s great that you have your girls to help you out, and even the little dog helping😂. God bless y’all and may you have a wonderful tater harvest🙏🏻. Hope Char is feeling better!😇

Thank you! I planted taters in my garden today, for the first time ever. Loved your video!

Wow what an awesome idea, I can’t wait to see everything growing in y’all’s garden! Virginia and you did a great job working together, I’m sure Virginia will cherish these memories of working with her daddy the rest of her life. I’ve got so many fond memories of my daddy even though he was lost in an accident when I was just about chars age, I miss my daddy so much!!! Thank you both for sharing this and refreshing my memories, please stay safe and always be awesome 😎

A mule named Honda, and you don't have to adjust its attitude with a 2x4, I like it! You done went and wore out poor little Charlotte. That was cute of her snoozing. Virginia makes a good team driver. Good luck on the tater patch this year Justro!

Down here in Louisiana I planted my potatoes in late February. But that last late freeze we had in March killed off the tops of them down to the ground. Took my first sweet corn, my fig saplings I planted and most all of my peaches, pears, and apples. Potatoes about half came back, some looking okay others better. I've been planting out my sweet potato slips out for three weeks now. I'm stuck using my Earthway walking plow to furrow and then recover the rows with the moldboard. It works as long as the sandy soil is nice and light but when the summer heat hits it then it's just a brick. Even a rototiller bounces off. The potato patch is close to an acre but less than half of it is really coming through this year. Real shame, but they might just surprise me. Last year it didn't rain the whole month of May which is when they usually finish up and put their size in. We had plenty of rain this year and we put cow manure, leaves and coffee grounds by the ton out to compost in it last fall.

The more things change the more they stay the same… Good job!

Love watching you use the old tools.

Girls are learning and it’s a gift they will treasure n Rmbr❤

GREAT JOB ,, U COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT THE 2 BOSS LADIES ❤

Dad and his girls working together, don't get no better. I planted my taters the last week in febuary, here in eastern NC we can get started early. Scratched up some last week.

Y’all done a great job a planting those taters sure pray y’all have a great harvest of taters take care God Bless

Great team just a woo and no gee ha

Nothing harder in the garden to me than planting taters but there’s nothing better to me than new taters out of the garden

I used to drive the cub and my grandpa ran the bull tongue when I lived with them. Here in the foothills of NC we had 52 acres of flue cured tobacco and 5 gardens as well as some soybeans here and there. That's how I earned my keep and my school clothes money. I have cultivated probably 100's of miles of soybeans and tobacco when I could barely reach the pedals. I loved seeing this..thanks for sharing!

I'm a tatertarian too. And darn proud of it.

Good video

I hear that Wu but no gee and haw, that another way to get ur done. Virginia makes some nice straight rows.

We used to do this with a mule

Nice team work! Virginia sure is growing up! Hope Char feels better soon. I'm about to dig my potatoes down here in South Georgia. Can't wait to cook up some fresh Yukon Golds.

I have never seen that breed of mule before.

We got an old plow here at the house we bought. It’s odd looking. Maybe for the steep hillsides here in east tn ?

Nice field of taters. Did you call that tool a duck plow? Where did you get it? Blessings

Curious. What boots do you wear? They look absolutely comfy.

You bring joy to my heart with each of your video's. This one is especially nice the girls & Bear. What a great ideal to use your Honda! I know you will be tired after that work out.

That’s gettin her done!! Do you still have the tractors?? Are your energy levels back again?

That will heat ya😅. 3:50

Why not just use the hand plow instead of the cart-pulled plow in the beginning?

I like to have the plow

Gardening is hard if you do it rite Can I get a amen on that jetro

I bet Bear is eating for some fries! Looks good. Do you do any fertilizer?

Did they drive straight?

Make you some taller handles to save your back !!!

Gee Haw

You didn't teach them Gee and Ha?

Does the Wiener dog have a job or does he just provide a good-long belly for rubbin'?

Y

What happened to your girlfriend? Lol The old allis?
