      abstract = {Excerpts from the report Summary:  As recently as 1951, a  scant  1 percent of the fresh carrots marketed were sold in  prepackaged form.  By 1956, about 85 percent were  prepackaged.  The change has resulted in substantial  reductions in transportation charges, less spoilage, and  better salability of the vegetable.  This rapid shift grew  at least in part from 10 years of economic and engineering  research conducted by the U. S. Department of Agriculture  and the industry.  Most of the research has never been  published, although much of it was demonstrational in  character and has influenced many  improvements in  practices within the industry.  This report describes the  studies and findings in some detail, for the guidance of  the carrot industry and for other industries that might  find similar practices useful.  The objectives of the  research were (1) to reduce the cost of marketing carrots,  and (2) to improve their salability.},
