Fuss over ditches abandonment at NAK

There has been a fuss among seed potato growers about the marking of trenches for the NAK inspection service. Several growers indicate on Twitter that they find this measure nonsense.

The NAK wants ditches cut for drainage to be marked with flags. An extra sign with the blue sticker must also be placed at the front of the lot, near the plot sign. In addition, the judge must be informed in the event that trenches have been cut.

Injury at judge 
According to the NAK, the reason for these measures is to prevent injury to the judges. The NAK could not be reached for comment, but growers did make themselves heard on Twitter. The response is mainly joking.
