70% of the GB potato area has been lifted as of the week ending 22 October. Persistent wet weather has damaged some cops, particularly those on heavier land. The rain has also caused quality issues for lifted crops. Read the full report: bit.ly/364xlBc #harvest19

This is less than ideal! I really don’t want a wet winter but we need one if we are going to carry on as planned in 2020. #dryasabone #irrigation #wateriseverything

What I took from #PotatoesinPractice yesterday was 1) scale of challenges for the industry in Scotland, but 2) new collaborations 3) a focus on solutions as actives are withdrawn and 4) a supportive, connected, professional community. @AHDB_Potatoes

We wholeheartedly agree with @RichardLochhead's assessment: "Scotland has 8% of UK’s population & 10% of its researchers, yet produces 12% of UK research. We already punch well above our weight & enjoy a global reputation as a welcoming, pro-science nation" #ScotlandScienceNation

STATEMENT: The EU’s Appeal Committee did not reach a majority on the future of CIPC last week. Most now expect a final decision this summer, & CIPC to be withdrawn following a 'use-up' period. Full statement, & review of the support we're offering: bit.ly/2UDxbPe

Potatoes contribute 14% of the vitamin C, 13% of the vitamin B6 and 9% of the folate in the diets of adults in the UK - plus they're fat free! #TheTruthAboutCarbs
