Spud Plains Farms OUR STORY THE FARM HIRING CONTACT PRESS SAFETY OUR STORY Paul Adriaansen, owner of Spud Plains Farms, was born and raised in the Wellwood area. He grew up alongside six brothers and 1 sister on the family farm. The boys divided the land from their father, Tony Adriaansen, in 1987 and eventually Paul bought his own 800 acres out of the business planting his first solo crop in 1999. 25 years ago Paul married his wife Kim in Carberry, Manitoba. Paul and Kim are parents to 3 daughters, Johanna, Teal and Victoria, and son, Griffin. The farm has since grown to over 100 quarter sections, doubling in the last three years. Johanna, Teal, Paul, wife Kim, Tori and Griffin The Farm Spud Plains Farms is a 15,000+ acre crop farm which sprawls over south-western Manitoba from the banks of the Assiniboine River near Shilo, through the sandy hills of Carberry and north into the dark soil of Neepawa. We grow over 4500 acres of potatoes including ranger russet, russet burbank and seed with 8,000 acres that have available irrigation. Rotation crops include canola, wheat, rye, and corn. Irrigation system pumping water out of the Assinaboine. Potenital for over 50,000 gallons per minute. Self-sufficiency is a Priority We are proud to host in-house mechanics, electricians, a full time agronomist, as well as do our own building contracting and most recently our own aerial spraying. Adding an aerial spray plane and taking ownership of a crop inputs retailer allows the business to source it's own fertilizer, as well as blend and apply in dry or liquid form. Our Carberry yardsite is 15 miles south of the main yard and hosts grain and fertilizer storage as well as 2 X squarefoot potato sheds. View of the main yard site including family home, machine sheds, shop, grain bins, and air strip Embracing Technology The farm has always been willing to invest in new technology. We work with GPS systems in the tractor and an RTK Subinch row crop program to ensure row accuracy. Potato storages are temperature and humidity controlled virtually - everything from CO2 to oxygen flushes. Further, monitoring irrigation equipment online gives instant feedback when problems arise. Field information is logged into a cell phone app daily so we can constantly track what stage the field is at in regards to planting, harvest dates as well as fertilizer application and amount. Land Development As part of our operation Spud Plains does a lot construction work for our own land as well as contracting to others. By implementing dozing, scraping, land development, track hoe, debris and cleanup we have developed many acres of 'unfarmable' land into profitable, farmable fields. One of the many land redevelopment projects. WE INVITE YOU TO CONTACT US WITH ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FARM.
