- The Sandgården farm covers more than 70 hectares; its main products are firm potatoes, green onions, yellow and red onions as well as cereals and rapeseed.
- “We chose BKT row cultivation wheels because we move a lot between farms and fields, so we have noticed that BKT lasts significantly longer than other brands”. As Pether said, BKT tires are designed and optimized both to maximize yield and to ensure maximum driving comfort, whether on land or on the road.
- The first potato field in Sweden was planted in 1720 by a man named Jonas Alströmer, who is considered the father of Swedish agriculture.
