A method of cutting potatoes (98) for seed while preventing the spread of pathogens. Wherein a seed potato (98) is sorted and positioned between upper and lower conveyor belts, (46) and (48). This configuration of the upper and lower conveyor belts, (46) and (48), works to firmly grasp the potato (98) and feed the potato (98) through high pressure vertical and horizontal water streams, (100) and (102) cutting the potato for its eventual use as seed. The use of high pressure vertical and horizontal water streams, (100) and (102) prevents the spread of disease and pathogens during cutting as is commonly found when a knife is used to cut seed potatoes. |
