Thank you.  that's what I needed to know. And since I'm racing weather and rodents, the tops will come off.  Anyone know of good price supply on Buckhorn totes or collapsible vented plastic boxes?

Carrots last weeks for me in the cool-bot W/O tops.
I have found that if I leave the tops on, the carrots are ruined within days, even in sealed totes. They get soft and pliable.  I only leave the tops on when I pull them the day before market.

How long do carrots with tops last in your walkin coolers?  I have mine in Buckhorn totes, but have been taking tops off what we are harvesting now, assuming they'll start looking ratty within a couple weeks.  Should I be stockpiling carrots with tops?
