2004- The Tater King lives on.
Russ Ferrell has plowed out two big truck loads this past weekend and there are still more to go.
Ferrell's secret? He says it's all in the fertilizer and a little hard work.
Russ says this is the average size taters raised with "Ferrell's Fantastic Fertilizer," many weighing over two and a half pounds each.
