Ragen Darrington, IVI
A large portion of potatoes spend more time in storage than they do in the ground. Weight loss during that period can be caused by a variety of reasons, but the end result is still the same: product and economic loss. Ragen Darrington of Industrial Ventilation will present on how to manage and minimize potato weight loss while in storage.
