Abstract: Excerpt from the report Highlights: During July 1954 peach-packing operations were observed in 14 plants located in the Sandhills area of North Carolina and in the vicinity of Spartanburg, S. C. In this study the major emphasis was on packing costs, including hydrocooling, but attention was also given to transportation and selling charges incurred in delivering the peaches to market. Included in the packinghouse operation were dumping, grading, facing, filling, cooling, lidding, labeling, and loading as well as the general and supervisory functions. Two sizes of baskets, the 3/4 bushel and the bushel, were being used by the 14 packinghouses at the time observations were made.
