Growers urged to ‘think like a potato plant’ at Potato Council event

About 200 potato growers, advisors and agronomists met at QV Foods, Holbeach Hurn, to discuss the future of the industry. Neil Bidwell, senior agricultural business consultant at Bidwells, said: “In my experience, the grower who makes money from his potato crop is the guy who lives and breathes potatoes. “He thinks like a potato plant, by looking at the weather and working out how his potatoes are feeling in the field that day because of those conditions.
