Potato harvest is under way....storing potatoes

Once the potatoes are harvested in the fields, there are 2 locations they can go.
Some potatoes will go into cold storage where they will stay over winter and which we will remove a little at a time for market.
When they are taken out of the storage, they will go to the washing and grading line. From there they will be packed either in boxes or bags for the market.

The video below shows the storage of the potatoes. They are piled into special sheds that have fans which blow cool air through the potatoes as they store through the winter.

It was quite dim in the storage shed when I took this video so please excuse the dark at the beginning but it will lighten up as it goes on.
