Abstract

Excerpt from the report Summary: For a period of 2 years research in Washington State has accumulated considerable information on methods and costs of loading and moving apples from orchard to the storage and packing plants. Usually this operation is a direct cost to the grower and approximately equals the cost of handling the fruit at the warehouse up to the time the fruit is packed. Several of the methods saved man-hours by using new techniques and thus saved costs as well as time in moving the fruit to storage under the conditions found in that area.
