Arrangements to Haul Beet Crop to Black Hills Plant
Arrangements are nearly complete to move this year’s beet crop to the Black Hills sugar plant at Belle Fourche. Chicago and Northwestern Railway will provide four switch crews and 148 dump cars. The Black Hills Beet Growers association reports the railroad commission may approve lower truck haul rates: 40 cents per ton to field, 10 seats per ton per mile for two miles, and 5 cents per ton per mile thereafter. Short spurs in Hedwater valley and other beet regions will improve efficiency over trucks in many cases. Trucks still needed for field work.
