Clare County USDA War Board asks farmers to plant as large an acreage of sugar beets as in 1942, which was 525 acres. Officials warn of potential sugar shortages if goals aren’t met and note $1.50 per ton premium over last year’s price, with CCC buying and selling terms tied to 1942 prices. Labor plans include Mexican migrant workers to assist harvest and beet work.
