"Due to better penetration
and water retention in the
soil, we've cut back water
use significantly..."

"A lot of growers have a hard time having
people out on their place," says Jeremie.
"We say, 'Come on out here and see what
we're doing. The more you know, the
better relationship we'll have.'"
"Farmers in general are very humble
people; they're not out to get a pat on
the back for providing food," says Alicia.
"They really need to start doing that more
in general. It's never been a part of the
industry to brag about doing our job, but
now it is."
If ever there were a job worth bragging
about, it's growing potatoes. The people
of Heartland Farms know this, and they
plan on using every available tool to
ensure such "bragging" is much more than
empty words.
A seasonal truck driver unloads a truck during
Heartland's potato harvest. Heartland hires many
local retired people to drive trucks during harvest.
