Fruit freight losses hit Michigan growers in Chicago market
A Michigan shipper sent another car of peaches to Chicago after owing 3.45 in freight costs despite the sale price. Commission houses favor only fancy grades, leaving many fruits unsold or rotting. American Fruit Growers Inc. turns back hundreds of cars. Idaho potatoes cost 145 dollars to move per car, often sold at a loss. Michigan and Nebraska crops are enormous, with growers receiving minimal payments.
