Eyes up, or eyes down?

   / Eyes up, or eyes down? #13  
How many "eyes" do you guys cut for each seed? My dad always cut 3 for each piece. I only do one or two and usually have a good crop. Mine get eyes up. (most of the time) ha ha

I just drop them in the row. They have to look out for themselves after that.

Each eye has 7 chances to grow the main in the center with 6 secondary around it if the primary gets damaged another will take over so 1 eye should be plenty as for up or down we do not look while planting 5 or 6 hundred acres , as for hilling the main purpose is to keep the new potatoes below ground so they do not get sun burn causing greening which will cause them to not keep well .
