Corn glut at Van Zandt Vegetable Shed prompts limited buys
Ern est Burges, manager, reports an oversupply of corn with every market filled and the Van Zandt Vegetable Growers Association buying only from members this year. He cites 150 sacks per acre yield and a two week window for corn processing, with prices 60 to 75 cents per five dozen sacks. Tomato prospects loom as buyers like S. E. Casin from Kansas prepare for a late start and expect a strong harvest, shipping mainly to Michigan and Kansas.
