Community Canning Centers

Title

Community Canning Centers

Excerpt

Canning methods are in principle the same in a canning center as in home canning, but the problems that arise where wholesale qualities of food are handled are more like those of a canning factory. Many small centers operate successfully with home-size equipment or home-made devices, but the larger scale of operations the greater the need for the kind of equipment, management, and skilled supervision necessary to run an efficient commercial canning plant.
