Alma Sugar Company Campaign Nears End After Big Harvest
The Alma sugar campaign closes after nine million pounds of sugar produced from about 25,000 tons of beets. Factories report strong beets yields, payouts to farmers exceed $200,000, and salaries near $1000. Beets prove profitable despite heavy rainfall, with many districts comparing favorably. Local farmers plan early contracts and expansion pending labor, road, and transport support from businesses and railroads. The community emphasizes farmer factory cooperation for continued success.
