Clermont Sorghum Output Holds At Last Year Figure
The Clermont sorghum mill has operated since September 19 with only three rainy days. Frost has not harmed the cane crop and current 1961 output matches last year’s final figure though several days remain. Appelmans say the end is in sight as fewer workers stay productive with high efficiency and long-time employee Anna Mae Nelson remains at her post. Demand for Clermont sorghum grows and the product is regarded as the best available.
