Interesting days ahead (the weather again)
Bit late with the report this morning, been a bit hectic for a number of reasons… First of all, scorching day yesterday—32 degrees! and looking at the forecast, the temperatures are due to climb as high as 35 degrees and that could last right the way through to Thursday so we can anticipate some interesting days ahead…
Obviously, as I’ve explained before, with those sorts of temperatures, the rate at which the crop matures is really quite rapid, so it should be an interesting challenge dealing with that…
Also this week we’re back into potato production. We’ve had three weeks out, that’s two weeks for maintenance and for one week we delayed the start because the crops weren’t ready—specifically in terms of raw material requirements they weren’t quite as they should have been.
But anyway that’s all been resolved now and we get the first load in for production at 11:00 this morning so it’ll be interesting to see how that goes. That is of course for our range of potato products: waffles, alpha-bites and fritters which I’m sure you all know and love:-)
So that’s going on as well as peas for us…
More later.
