Through-wash manifests itself in potatoes

5 July 2017 - Redactie Boerenbusiness

After last week's precipitation, followed by fertile conditions, more and more potato crops have been found to have crops. This is especially the case in the south of the Netherlands and Belgium.

What effect this will have remains to be seen. In the meantime, the main crop could use another drink, grass is being chopped and onions are being harvested.
