A P R I L 2 0 1 6 POTATO GROWER 27 Potato Associates Donation Help Purchase Tractor For Research Plots Dr. Andy Robinson NDSUUMN Extension Potato Agronomist has purchased a new tractor to be used in potato field research and for field days research plots. This includes planting hilling spraying harvest- ing and field work. The Potato Associates donated 5000.00 towards the purchase of this tractor. Without a tractor we have had to borrow tractors and find other means to get our field work done Dr. Robinson says. Now we will have a tractor we can use when we need it and ot be delayed waiting to use a tractor. This will increase our efficiency and improve the quality of research.
