PILGRIM — The knack for successfully growing potatoes is what Martin Countian Raymond “Rainbow” Jude and his cousin Ronnie Lowe have. They have been at it for many years.

This year the cousins planted 500 pounds of seed potatoes and harvested a return of approximately 2,000 pounds or roughly 30-33 bushels.

The farmers still have a few bushels for sale. Anyone interested in making a purchase may call 606-369-6096. The price per bushel is $22.
