Shedding worries: Pre-storage preparation tips

摘要

Prepare to shed them now." Shakespeare was referring to tears for Julius Caesar when he wrote the above line but his warning could have been intended for potato growers. I like to think that the quote serves a dual meaning for the potato grower: If you don't make proper preparations prior to harvest season then you could be the one shedding tears. Storage time. After all the hard work through the spring and summer, now it comes down to putting your harvested spuds into storage and keeping them dormant until it's time to move them to market.
