Harvest Wages and Farm Profits Face Labor Strain
Ed Kiddie of Island City reports wages stable for harvest hands but notes rising costs for sacks and machine labor. He cites $2.50 to $3 daily for workers and $5,500 daily for sack sewers, with sacks bought at $5,000 per carload. Farmers fear labor shortages will squeeze profits amid a beet crop in good progress and a hog operation showing $16 net per pig from a single litter.
