What is Good for Michigan Is Good for Dakota
Owosso Michigan beet sugar factory paid farmers $325000 this year and employed nearly 400 during the sixty day campaign paying $75000 in labor. 60000 tons of beets were sliced from 7500 acres at $5.41 per ton yielding about $43.28 per acre. The four year old factory cost $900000 and supports a large labor force while Michigan backs the industry with a bounty on beet tonnage. Farmers prosper, mortgages ease, and many lines of teams unload beets each fall.
