Pioneering Veggie Venture Boosts Bootheel Acres
Mrs. Dan Cain of near Canabouthes planted 6000 white Sweet Keeper onions on seven tenths of an acre after idle land was freed by government removal. Experts from the University of Missouri and Cape Girardeau advised market research and precise timing, noting commercial vegetable growing could lift Bootheel farmers from idle acres and beat southern imports. The Chamber of Commerce supports this effort as a test case for wider producer profits.
