Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the economics of two contrasting systems for handling bulk potatoes from field to packing shed â" a truck-and-trailer combination versus a single truck. Travelling over 25 acres per day under good soil and sparse weed conditions, harvesting rates averaged a significant 413 hundredweight per hour, with each truck-and-trailer combination carrying approximately 24 tons and individual trucks about half that capacity. The author highlights the critical factors influencing harvesting rates, such as soil conditions, weeds, potato plant vines, delays, and operator proficiency, providing valuable insights into the optimization of harvesting operations. Each system's components are dissected, with detailed breakdowns of labor and equipment costs, revealing the nuances of each approach. The text unveils a compelling cost comparison, demonstrating that the truck-and-trailer system outperforms its counterpart in every aspect - harvesting, transporting, and unloading, resulting in substantial savings of 18 percent. This book is a valuable resource for professionals in the potato industry, offering practical guidance on optimizing harvesting and transportation processes. Its insights extend beyond specific systems, emphasizing the significance of careful planning, efficient resource allocation, and continuous improvement in the pursuit of cost-effective and sustainable potato handling practices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781390452433_0
