Bulls-Hit Ranch & Farm
Hastings, Florida
Just past the aptly named, Spuds, Florida on 207, you’ll find the Bulls Hit
Ranch and Farm. This cleverly named tuber farm has been harvesting spuds for
forty years. Thomas R. Lee, Sr. began by farming for someone else by day, and
leasing a separate plot of land and growing potatoes for himself at night. The
farm has since grown to encompass 500 acres in the Hastings area. Bulls Hit
grows red and table-stock potatoes.
If you have bought potatoes from a Publix
or Walmart in Florida, chances are, you have eaten one of the Lee’s potatoes!
The Bulls Hit Ranch is a full family affair, three generations of Thomas Raymond
Lee’s work on the farm. And all three generations agree that their Challenger
tractors are the best in their fleet. Thomas “Tater” Lee, Jr. said, “I really
like the machine, but I really love the service. If anything happens, Ring Power
comes right away. I’ve never not had them come out, they have always been there
for us”. Service like that is important when you only have eight weeks for your
entire harvest.
Downtime is not an option for potato farmers; machines have to
be up and running 24 hours a day. Tater Lee recalled, “One time I had the hood
on one of my Challenger machines up, checking the oil, and I’ll be darned if my
Ring Power field technician didn’t see it from the highway and pull into the farm
just to see what was wrong!” Ring Power is proud of our Customers First reputation
and works hard to keep those potato farmers happy!
