Excerpt from Costs of Marketing Florida Potatoes, Packinghouse to Wholesale Receiver In South Florida, potatoes were brought to the packinghouse by three methods: (1) In field boxes loaded onto trucks, in which case the boxes were unloaded and trucked by hand to temporary storage areas before the potatoes were dumped onto the packing equipment; (2) in field bags loaded on trucks; the bags were emptied onto a conveyor belt leading onto packing equipment; and (3) bulk trucks equipped to unload directly onto the packing equipment. In the Hastings area, potatoes were received at the packinghouse either in field bags or in bulk. They were either dumped directly onto the pack ing equipment or put in temporary storage. 'field bags were stored in racks or were emptied into bins. Bulk-loaded potatoes, except those unloaded directly, were stored in bins. Potatoes were moved from the storage bins onto the packing equipment by a system of conveyor belts or by use of a flume. Where the fiume was used, the potatoes were partially washed and most of the vines, soil, and trash were removed as the pota toes were carried' to the packing equipment.
