Right now most of us in the Marsh are taking out pathways in the carrots (not always the nicest looking carrots, because they're generally the bed the tractor and sprayer drive over, so the soil gets moved and changes the formulation of the carrot). You don't want to store those, get rid of them. We also have horticultural producers in south western Ontario whose crops are ready before ours, and in effect, flood the market.
