I've no great interest in planting them with potatoes but I just found it interesting that merchants are looking for farmers to plant their excess seed.
Are they finally realising that the potato area is going to be significantly reduced this season???

Tell them to keep the seed. Just like the dairy job is at present "less is more" for the farmer.

What variety?

Which seed house?

Are they all trying to flog seed?

I'm about to plant once grown, because I could not find any Maintou, back in November.
 
Might be overthinking here, but if all the loose soil between the beds is washed down to the bottom of the field, where is the fertiliser?
