Early potato crop care and packing guidance
The U S Department of Agriculture urges careful grading and inspection of the early potato crop. Protect potatoes from sun, avoid packing when soil is wet, and shake barrels to prevent bruising and skinning. Most early crop ships in 100 to 150 pound sacks or barrels, with 100 pound sacks gaining favor in some areas. Federal-State inspection services assist in key producing districts and Federal inspection in major markets.
