Sunburn Added to Maine Seed Potatoes Tolerance
Maine Commissioner Frank P. Washburnrules sunburn may be counted as a tolerance defect in Maine Selected Seed Potatoes. He noted sunburn renders tubers unfit for food but not for seed use and that up to 10 percent tolerance defects are allowed in this grade, with four percent above the U S No 1 limit. The change follows a Presque Isle hearing where growers and shippers supported the move to meet buyer demand.
