One-Crop Plan for Farm Problems Urged by Kemp
Kemp argues for commodity-by-commodity farm policy at the National Grange in Colorado Springs. He cites the Sugar Act as a profitable, consumer-friendly model that stabilized sugar prices, protected supplies, and financed grower payments, while urging leaders to defend farmers against profiteering accusations. He notes record beet crops this year, 950,000 acres in 22 states, and advancing mechanization and hybrid beet research boosting future yields beyond European levels.
