Abstract

Excerpts from the report: A study was undertaken to evaluate many factors involved in handling potatoes in bulk, from packing and handling at the grower level through receiving and handling at the processor level, with the objective of developing better handling methods and reducing costs. Methods currently being used by growers and processors were studied, and data collected. These and other data were then used to synthesize methods for various conditions and to make comparisons with methods described in the earlier report. Consequently, methods and conditions described in this report do not represent entirely those found in the plant of any of the cooperators mentioned in the preface of this report. This study considered the costs of labor, equipment, shipment of bulk bins in a truck to and from the processor, space required, and truck tieup time.
