War Food Administration Sets Beet Labor Rates
Beet labor rates for sugar beet field work are unchanged except for spring work on segmented seed fields and a minimum harvesting rate of seven dollars per acre. Blocking thinning and hoeing remain seventeen dollars per acre on whole seed fields, plus a three dollar harvesting bonus. For a 10 ton per acre crop on whole seed, minimum costs total thirty three dollars and sixty cents per acre, covering blocking thinning hoeing and harvesting on piece work. Thinning on segmented seed fields costs up to two dollars per acre less, and hoeing rates rise five cents to match thinning.

Agricultural payment terms for seed planting and harvesting
The text outlines labor based planting agreements between workers and farmers with a labor saving factor. It notes a minimum payment around 15 cents per acre for thinning and similar tasks, adjustable upward by the farmer. For harvesting, a sliding scale based on yield allowed lower rates than a 7 dollar per acre minimum when actual yields were under four tons per acre.
