:07:01
They won't have to treat.
:07:02
You still must sort them.
:07:12
In supermarkets,
the firm ones are sold
:07:16
in containers of 5 1 /2 to 1 1 pounds,
:07:19
and these have to be
of a specific caliber,
:07:23
of a specific size.
:07:25
So we dump anything bigger.
:07:29
The potato harvest
averages 4,500 tons per season.
:07:34
But 25 tons are rejected
:07:38
and dumped.
:07:58
We reject all the outsized,
green ones, and stones,
:08:01
the cut or damaged ones.
:08:04
Because they're unsellable.
:08:06
To the trade, we sell potatoes
:08:10
within a range of 2 to 4 inches
:08:13
and anything bigger
is automatically thrown away.
:08:17
Potatoes remain
a staple foodstuff for many
:08:20
and because large quantities
of potatoes are dumped,
:08:25
the practice of gleaning
has reappeared.
:08:27
In general people wait nearby
:08:30
and follow the trailers.
:08:34
We followed the trailers
but didn't see anyone
:08:38
except a man who might have known,
:08:40
not through a newspaper though
for they never announce
:08:44
dumping here tomorrow,
there next week.
:08:47
Potatoes left in the open like that
:08:50
soon become green
and dangerous to eat.
:08:55
Sometimes the children give
the signal.
:08:58
Hey, we found a big one here!
