Maine Farmers Prosper Despite Weather and Prices
Agricultural Commissioner Frank T. Washburn notes improved general business conditions aid farmers in 1940. Maine’s crop value reached 34,994,000 dollars, up 4,675,000 from the prior year, aided by higher potato prices. August yields were hit by poor weather. potatoes averaged 225 bushels per acre, the smallest since 1928, with total output down 2,164,000 bushels from 1938. The apple crop reached 900,000 bushels, the largest since 1933–1944, but U.S. prices remained low due to regional production increases.
