Very adaptable & easy to operate GRIMME UK took its Varitron 220 demonstrator to Brooksby Melton College in Leicestershire last month to harvest nine acres of maincrop potatoes, an xercise designed to give engineering students first-hand experience of the company’s crop handling equi ment. Grimme sends all its apprentices to Brooksby and aims to work closely with them to provide opportunities they might not ot herwise enjoy. All college st udents we re welcomed on both days to see how the machinery performed. ‘Grimme Academy students really gain from this experience as they are fully responsible for the preparation, planting and harvesting of the crop,’ said a company spokesman. ‘This year’s they were given the opportu- nity to drive one of our flagship har- vesters. Guided by the team from Grimme UK and their college tutors, students were shown how to operate the machine correctly, inclu ing adjustment of topper height, digging depth, web agitation, haulm separa- tion and clod removal.’ Back in the yard the crop was graded using a Gri mme RH24-60 Combi Unit and loaded into bulkers using an SL145 store loader. Experts were on hand over the two days to demonstrate the different kinds of tuber damage that can occur during harvest and handling, offering advice on how to avoid it. 18   POTATO REVIEW NOVEMBER 2016 Unit 4, Five Mile Business Park, Was hingborough, Lincoln LN4 1#F Tel: 01522 797222 Fax: 01522 7975 55 www.storedcrop.co.uk CertNo 8880 • Store hygiene • Post harvest treatment of stored crop • Sprout control Potato and crop storage treatments since 1971 protecting your profits         0161 821 1555 07771 638560 www.potatoquilts.com philipjohnharrison@hotmail.com in ld 01904 481111 unnington York, YO19 5AE 30/06/2014 15:37 T: 01366 388598 M: 07836 650105 E: baker.seeds@btconnect.com Quality Seed Potatoes Independent Producers & Suppliers of UK, Imported New & Established Varieties Packing: Camel, Electra, Estima, Manhattan, Marfona, Melody, Nectar, Saxon, Charlotte, Gemson, M.Peer.
