PHOTO: ANTONY KELLY © ARCHANT NORFOLK 2012 Neighbours to a Norfolk farm told councillors they fear for their ability to sleep, ahead of a decision to allow a new refrigerated potato storage box on the site. E F Harrold Ltd, a family-run farm in Oulton, near Aylsham, has successfully applied to Broadland District Council for permission to build a new potato store on their site, with capacity for 2,200 tonnes of spuds.The plans, which went before committee this week, include cooling fans to regulate the temperature of the potatoes, which will run 24 hours a day.However, the proposal prompted noise fears from neighbours of the farm, with speakers at the committee meeting telling members the store would spell the end of the tranquillity of the village.

Brands try to convince new generations products aren’t just for their parents
By Janet Morrissey, New York Times Published 4:54 pm CDT, Wednesday, August 29, 2018 Boxes of Kellogg's Special K cereal sit on display in a market in Pittsburgh, Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2018. When Kellogg’s Special K started a campaign to appeal to younger women last year, its ad showed women engaged in energetic activities, along with an affirmation: “We eat.” Some found it condescending and patronizing to portray “eating” as some feat that women had accomplished.

Era of resistance defines new generation of House Democrats
WASHINGTON — Ready or not, change is coming to the House Democrats. Across the country, a new generation is making its way to Washington. It's not just that some of the Democrats, like 28-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are young and progressive. They are. Or that many are women entering politics who want to fight President Donald Trump. They do. Or even that some of them live in Trump country. They also come to politics steeped in an era of resistance and revolt, like the tea party Republicans who rose against President Barack Obama and the so-called Watergate babies elected after President Richard Nixon.

New grocery store owner grew up in the business
Carl Morley got his first grocery store job at the age of 8, bagging potatoes in his father’s store in rural Nevada.“My brother was two years older so he was tall enough to read the scales. I had to bag them and hand them to him,” he said.His grandfather started the Standard Market in Ely, Nevada, and Morley would work there through college.When that store shut down, Morley went on to a career in the corporate grocery world that has taken him to all corners of the country and eventually to Tulsa where he worked as the vice president of fresh foods with Reasor’s.During that time Morley, who is a third-generation meat cutter, has specialized fresh meat and produce.“It’s the one industry that they are trying to make it so you can define by computer, but it is still one of the most touching and feeling industries,” he said.For instance, the time of day you buy strawberries can affect the quality and taste as much as the way you cut a piece of meat … [Read more...] about New grocery store owner grew up in the business
