Grower turned inventor focuses on affordability with potato sorter

一月 17, 2012
Few people know better than Greg Jones how important it is to sort and grade potatoes accurately and quickly. At the height of his 35 years as a grower, his operation sorted and loaded a semi-trailer once every 10 minutes during harvest. That’s 4.6 million pounds per day.
As founder and president of AgSort Inc., St. Augustine, Fla., Jones has seen his idea for an efficient, affordable potato grader/sorter become a reality. Dubbed the E-Sorter, Jones unveiled his creation at Potato Expo 2012 in Orlando in early January.
