Final spuds delivered by farm after half a century

A Ballabeg farm has shipped the last of its potatoes after 50 years in the industry.

Ballaquinney Farm announced earlier this year it would give up potato production because of rising energy, fertiliser and seed costs.

Today on Facebook, it said it had delivered its last shipment to Port Erin chippy, which it's supplied for two decades.

The farm says the remaining spuds will be delivered to customers off the Island.
