Plots in Fijnaart and Hank also cleared

The potato plots in Fijnaart and Hank (North Brabant), which participate in the Boerenbusiness Crop tour, were harvested on Thursday 15 October. This means that only the plot in Appelscha in Friesland still needs to be cleared. The grower hopes to be able to do that next week.

"Last week we still had fairly good harvesting conditions. Then we immediately got to work", both Brabant growers report. In Hank, the yield is expected to be 65 tons per hectare. This is 4 to 5 tons less than the result of the trial harvesting. In Fijnaart a yield is expected that is in line with the trial grubbing: around 53 tons per hectare.
