Salt Boosts Beef Output For Farmers
Salt boosts beet yields, with Prof. C Sayre of the New York State Beet Experiment Station reporting up to 300 extra tons per acre when 500 pounds of common salt per acre are applied. The salt, about 2.50 per acre, provides essential sodium for maximum beet production and aligns with cannery demand for graded, small-size beets. In 1946, increasing seeding doubled the rate, yielding about 20 more dollars per acre from the 500 pound salt treatment.
