Potato sowing North Fife
North fife has historically grown potatoes a plenty, in fact there once was an incredible rail infrastructure with many halts, alas gone through political choice, at the time there was a push to promote road transport and grow the motor industry. Dr Beeching, eat your heart out it's needed now given the price of oil etc.

Potato sowing North Fife. Improving prices has caused a much larger acreage to be sown locally, the conditions are perfect, friable soil, dry and good weather to be in. Highly mechanised and efficient, how times have changed.
