    Yea , loaded many in Colorado for Tx and Ok. Always had to wait on Ag guy at shed that graded taters as they conveyored in trailer up to line I MARKED all the way to back . Ag guy would instruct loaders when to move conveyor on pile when potato's where to small for buyer . Easy deal and always paid well . Used sawdust some but not much . Pumpkins was best though !!!!

    If you think potatoes are fun being loaded like that, try carrots. Potatoes will at least soften and are much easier to dig out of the ridges in the floor. Washout with carrots took forever, #### things get wedged in perfectly and don't cooperate...

    Aw come on, give 'em a break. They freeze their brains out in the winter, and burn them out in the summer in the San Luis Valley. At least they didn't put the conveyor into the nose of your trailer and load it to the ceiling in front....:eek:

    Can you recommend any good brokers that have contracts with Frit O Lay to haul potatoes all year around? Thanks!
