      abstract = {Excerpts from the report Introduction:  Increased use of  potatoes for processing into chips, flakes, granules, and  other products has created a greater interest in bulk  shipping of potatoes in pallet boxes rather than in  100-pound burlap bags from the grower's storage and  packinghouse to the processing plant.  One of the methods  under development for several years and used today on a  limited scale is shipping in 1-ton collapsible wooden  pallet boxes.  A study was undertaken to compare costs of  handling in pallet boxes and 100-pound bags, from packing  and handling by the grower through receiving and handling  by the processor, with the objective of developing better  handling methods and reducing costs.  This study considers  the costs of labor, equipment, materials, shipping full  containers to the processor, returning empty containers to  the grower, space, injury of the potatoes, and truck tie-up  time.},
