New High Price for Sugar Beets Aids Local Farmers
Local No 20 of the Farmers Association in South Holland reports a higher sugar beet price as the government raises rates to 10.00 to 10.50 per ton for 1918 deliveries. The panel cites Hoovers plan and says Riverdale’s beet sugar plant is pivotal, with growers urged to switch crops if needed. Illinois producers press for fair costs per acre, and Howell secures a 9.00 per ton offer for the season.
