Canning Company Ends Pea Pack After 14,000 Cases
The Atlantic Canning Company finished the pea pack for the year and local plant, deciding peas can no longer be canned profitably here. The year’s pack reached about 14,000 cases or 250,000 cans, with an estimated value near 10,000 dollars. The venture’s early profits gave way to repeated floods and corn interferences, leading to the shutdown. Corn packing will begin at the local factory in two to three weeks, with Fremont’s plant starting next week.
