Beet Culture Expands in Nebraska Connecting Norfolk Area
Farmers in northeastern Nebraska saw rising beet production with smaller radius supply. After seven years the Norfolk factory now draws beets from within 25 miles and rarely beyond 40 miles, with contracts filling and acreage to spare. The shift marks a growing regional benefit as more land enters cultivation and the crop gains profitability. In Iowa Story County, a probate hearing is set for Frank H. Gray with the District Court to accept his will.
