What drying runs into in Presque Isle
Serving Presque Isle and the surrounding area, including Washburn Junction, Presque Isle Junction, Rands, Spragueville, Easton Station, Parkhurst, Phair, Crouseville.
Local housing stock
Only 25.8 percent of Presque Isle's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1971 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1971 with three quarters of the stock older, the farms and the properties on their edges carry potato storage buildings dug into the ground, built to hold a crop at high humidity just above freezing.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 67.4 degrees against 12.8; the 38.05 inches a year peak in October at 4.16, both figures recorded at PRESQUE ISLE, 2.5 miles away. October is the wettest month at 4.16 inches of a 38-inch year and six months average a low below freezing with January lows near three degrees, so the storage season runs through the whole of a long hard winter.
How water losses tend to end in Presque Isle
- A structure kept damp on purpose, so its normal state would be a fault in any other building
- Buildings dug into the ground, so they sit in the water table and rely on their drainage
- A crop inside worth more than the building, so conditions are managed for it and not for the structure
