Burlap sacks of potatoes were neatly arranged to the side.
Four people worked together, extremely busy.
"Must be a yield of 8000 catties per mu."
Ranch worker Ma Wen looked at the pile of potatoes that resembled a small hill and deeply sighed.
"I think it's even more,"
Wang Wu echoed.
The normal yield for potatoes is 3000 to 5000 catties per mu; with good cultivation, it can reach 8000 catties, and in some places, it's possible to achieve a yield of 10,000 catties per mu.
However, some are due to the application of swelling agents to the potatoes – those are relatively inferior and are the doing of unscrupulous growers.
Although the potatoes treated with swelling agents are cheaper, their higher weight can bring in more money, and some unscrupulous merchants would buy them to sell as normal potatoes.
Every industry has its dark side.
Of course, Xu Yang would not get involved in these practices.
Once the potatoes were mature, he would find a reputable buyer.
