New scales help Corey Farms meet weighing challenges
When Corey Farms established its own packing facility after years of sending its sweet potatoes and watermelons to be packed elsewhere, they were faced with some serious weighing challenges. The Robersonville, N.C.-based farm was using a simple but inaccurate eyeballing method to fill boxes. To ensure it did not short its customers, it wound up overfilling the boxes and shorting itself instead.
After selecting new scales, Corey Farms settled into a packing process that provides good value to customers while ensuring they do not give away their product.
