Beets Prove Profitable In Kaw Valley Demonstration
Sugar beets with high sugar content yielded 14.3 percent average in the Kaw Valley test as 21 farmers planted 1 to 2 acres each. The Garden City mill paid $5 to $5.50 per ton based on sugar content. The test, near Lawrence to Holliday, used seed from Santa Fe and a beet expert as demonstrator. The effort signals potential for local expansion next spring and marks the first substantial test in eastern Kansas.
