[QUOTE="chaffcutter, post: 6292568, member: 500"] They crop every square inch that they can plant a spud in, no matter how steep it is, and dig them by hand if they have to. They operate as a co-op and all spuds are delivered to the grading shed by the docks. Jersey Royals is a protected name like Stilton cheese so they can only be labelled as such if they are from Jersey. I’ve been there several times and I still haven’t found out how they can get away with growing them pretty well continuously, there is a fair amount of grassland but very few cereals grown. Whether PCN levels are kept low because it’s such a short growing season, or whether they use a lot of chemical control I don’t know. [/QUOTE]
