I usually get about 3-4 lbs per hill (yukon gold) I didn't buy mine by
the pound but by the piece from Gurney's. 30 sets may weight 1/2 lb
What location are you in. Kenebecs are still green and growing here in
PA. Did you wait until the plants died back to nothing, or are you
digging them as new potatoes ?

What are those in the group getting for a yeild on potatoes? In
pounds of harvest compared to pounds planted. I have heard that if you
are really kicking some butt you can get 10 pounds per pound planted,
I am guessing this is the best of the best conditions? We havent
weighed our yeild yet but we last night just for fun we dug about
1/6th of the 50 lbs we planeted and have gotten two 5 gallon pails
worth. Perhaps 30-40 pounds?
I didnt get them hilled as well as I should have this year so
thats hurting us but I was surprised to have even the biggest plants
only yeilding perhaps 5 medium sized potato's each. If there are 6
they are small and if there are only three they are large baking size.
Oddly I left two rows unhilled and they are yeilding only slightly
less than the rows I hilled a couple times.
We planted Kenebec's and next year, even though we are no till as
much as possible, I am going to furrow and hill with the farm tractor
rather than by hand. Over 50 lbs (which we will do next year) is just
too much for us by hand. Even if I have to run the subsoiler every
other year it will be the only way for us to grow a lot of potatoes.
