Clean Investment: Start sanitizing,maintaining storage systems early

摘要

Potato farmers could easily envy the winemaker. It must be wonderful to make a product that gets better with age. Spuds are as good at harvest as they're ever going to be. The same is true of other fresh vegetables of course, but potatoes are often stored for months. Growers can only hope that the crop will maintain its quality until marketed.A properly functioning storage building can help growers achieve that goal. Now is the time to get storages in shape."The most important thing is to have it clean and ready to go," said Nora Olsen, Extension potato specialist with the University of Idaho.
