New England Sweet Corn Planting Less Than Last Year
Reports show 19.13 percent of acres planted to sweet corn for canning in New England for 1926, down from 21.272 acres in 1925 and 18 percent two years prior. The 1925 rack was the largest on record for the region and the nation. Low pack prices and acreage cuts followed. three factories were discontinued. Total of 97 factories will handle the 1926 crop across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Maine planted 15,157 acres vs 16,628 in 1925. New Hampshire 1,193 vs 1,616. Vermont 2,788 vs 2,412 acres. Seeding weather to date hindered corn, but a fair yield may come if early frosts stay away in September. yields like last year seem unlikely.
