Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the shipping practices of American grape farmers during the 1917 harvest, a time when the industry faced unique challenges due to wartime conditions. Utilizing data collected from various shipping hubs and markets, the author analyzes the factors that contributed to grape damage during transport, such as the types of packaging used, loading techniques, and the construction of railcars. The book highlights the importance of careful loading to minimize crushing, emphasizing the 'straight' system of loading, where baskets are placed parallel to each other and snugly against their neighbors. The author also discusses the negative effects of "crosswise" loading, mixed loads, poorly constructed railcars, and uneven car floors. The book concludes by underscoring the significance of understanding these factors to reduce damage and ensure the safe transportation of grapes. Its insights remain relevant today, providing valuable guidance to agricultural professionals and anyone interested in efficient and sustainable shipping practices.
