    So you had a potato lifter that just sat there, still and silent, in case you ever decided to grow 1/2 acre of potatoes?

      Yeah, pretty much. It was a converted horse drawn implement so it was quite old and pretty worn. It did work, but us kids still had to walk behind it to pickup the potatoes it missed.

      And when you could muster a small army of 10 kids from 3 families, well you maybe didn’t need a potato lifter so much.
