00:00Hi, I'm Stephen Radcliffe, we're here at Bollokane Farm in Blaff.
00:05Here at the farm we have about 200 suckler cows, 500 sheep, and we grow about 30-40 acres
00:10of potatoes.
00:11My mother and father have been doing it for 60 years, I've probably been doing it for
00:15about 30 now, and then I think my father's parents were doing it before that.
00:20Mainly it's to the terrace, Port Jack, and the chippy that Mark has got down at Port
00:26Aaron.
00:27They're bred about March time, harvested out the field from July till probably October,
00:32and then they're stored in the shed then all through the winter.
00:35We've got a grader, which you take all the small ones and the bad ones out, and then
00:39the good ones then carry on and they go straight into the bags then.
00:41You get 40 bags in about 20-25 minutes.
00:44Really?
00:45Yeah.
00:46You're not long getting them, yeah.
00:47Well the terrace will probably use about 40 bags just on the one day, Port Jack will probably
00:52use about 20, and Port Aaron I would say probably about 30, so yeah it'll be a busy day on Monday.
00:58Will you be tasting this blood yourself on Monday?
01:00Yeah, I would think so, yeah.
01:03Yeah.
