Day 33 - Tough day at Hull

Just finished the taste pannel at Lowestoft, which was good. although we’ve had a fairly traumatic morning as a result of a very disapointing day yesterday at Hull where we had all sorts of mechanical difficulties.

It meant that we weren’t able to harvest the tonnage that we needed to. When we’re in that position with this hot weather sometimes it becomes extremely difficult to keep on top of the quality in which case we have to bypass some crops which is what we’ve had to do.

This is extremely disapointing for us and also for the growers—they’re not particularly happy with us this morning, so we’ll need to have a bit of a reajustment there…

Everything’s working well this morning, looks like we’ve got the problems sorted out, so we’re looking forward to a good day.
