Richard Kneeland

 


In July of 2003, part of the TATER ACT team visited the Aroostook State Farm in Presque Isle and interviewed retired potato grower, Richard Kneeland. Mr. Kneeland is currently serving in the Maine State Senate representing District 2. Mr. Kneeland is a fourth generation farmer from Easton. Along with potatoes, Mr. Kneeland also grew wheat, and was the first local grower to have a storing shed. While the team was at the Aroostook State Farm, we gained experience taking digital pictures of potato blossoms, mustard, and vintage farm equipment.Richard Kneeland.
