Potato lifting was progressing well for suppliers to Pembrokeshire-based Puffin Produce, said the firm’s Barry Gaskell. “We’ve been very lucky here – we haven’t had the flooding and wet


weather that other people have had.” The ability to get on spraying at any time meant potato quality was good, with no rot problems, he said. Harvest was a little earlier than normal, and


yields, which varied from about 45-59t/ha (18-24t/acre), were averaging about 54t/ha (22t/acre). The maincrop varieties, which were all heading to the cold store, were lifting well and had


good skin finish, but conditions had dried out so much that they were now getting some bruising, said Mr Gaskell. “We’re talking of irrigating next week before lifting.” Crop: Maincrop
