The new year has started
Two employees celebrate a jubilee; Jan van der Werff and Maurice Kuijlen have both been employed at C. Meijer B.V. for 25 years and this occasion was marked in festive style.
To honour his 25 years of service in potato breeding at a trading house, Maurice Kuijlen was presented with the Geert Veenhuizen Award by the chairman of the Geert Veenhuizen Fund, Mr Jan van Loon.
 
The new year has started and for the sales and logistics departments this means that we are right in the middle of the sales season.
The weather here in the Netherlands cannot be compared with that of the last two years. Last year at this time we had a huge amount of snow, but at the moment we have had no frost or wintry showers. In fact the temperatures have even been on the high side for the time of year. There has been a lot of rainfall. There is still some time to go before we start planting, but it would be good for the soil if we had a period of heavy frost first.
At Meijer’s breeding station in Rilland work is progressing as normal. Preparations of the trial fields are almost complete. Collegues Peter de Vlieger and Roel van den Maegdenbergh are sorting the tubers and putting the numbers in the right order so that when planting time comes everything can proceed smoothly on the trial field.
 
We are looking forward to a good 2012 with a fine cooperation together and success for the Meijer varieties.
