Michigan Farmers Bid to Ban Nonreturnable Bottles
Michigan farmers join a push led by Sen. Roger Craig to outlaw nonreturnable bottles amid costly breakages. A broken bottle tore a tractor tire, costing up to 250 dollars and a week of downtime, while glass contaminates produce and wastes crops. The group seeks 200000 signatures for a 1968 ballot proposal and notes highway debris and losses in bean and wheat crops during 1967.
