Sugar price protection assured for 1948 beet crop
George Wood, general manager of Canadian Sugar Factories, said the federal government will protect the current sugar price for Southern Alberta beet growers on their 1948 crop. Growers receive at least as much as last year, with a guaranteed floor price and a 62 percent share of net sugar proceeds. The crop is smaller than 1947, with an Oct. 20 cut off for initial payments and a likely $14.50 per ton.
