Sugar Beet Crop Looks Strong In Yellowstone County
W P Hoggarty manager of the Great Western Sugar plant in Billings reports a good Yellowstone valley beet crop with tonnage at least equal to last year despite less acreage. He notes better labor quality with Belgians and other workers moving toward farming, and cites a planned 60 day Billings season with expansion of Montana shipping radius toward Minneapolis or Chicago. He also describes a pilot program planting beet seed by 20 growers to achieve earlier spring germination and stronger future yields.
