Eastern Washington Faces Grain Sack Shortage Fear
Eastern Washington farmers fear a prolonged sack shortage into next year due to a jute scarcity. The Walla Walla Bulletin notes the penitentiary jute mill runs only about a day and a half weekly, producing far below the 30,000 to 40,000 sacks daily needed, forcing reliance on costly imports. Prices range from 12 to 13 cents for sacks, with prison sacks about 8 to 7 cents and imported sacks not below 24 cents. The issue ties to the revolving fund in state spending and possible legislative action to ensure a steady jute supply.
