What is Developments Toward Dirt Measurement Systems for Processing Tomatoes about?

A N attempt to develop a fast test procedure to deter- mine the amount of dirt in loads of processing tomatoes on a load-by-load basis did not produce sufficiently accurate results for a basis for payment deduction. However, the procedure would be satisfactory on an entire season basis. Individual variations and apparent samplpling errors are too large to use the procedure as a basis for payment penalties. The procedure, however, has been of value to the industry in reducing the industry's dirt content from 0.5 percent in 1975 to 0.2 percent in 1976 and 0.3 percent in 1977.
