Broom Corn Boom Boosts Hooker Oklahoma Trade
Hooker residents report broom corn markets expanding with over fifty carloads shipped eastward and Beaver County leading Oklahoma in production. Prices range from 30 to 90 per ton as weather and seed outfits slow harvest, with about 500 tons received in Hooker so far this season.
Local Grower Reacts to Broom Corn Profits and Weather
The Hooker Advance reports broom corn producers plotting own seeders and community sowing as curing sheds are planned for next year. Rain damaged this season cut profits roughly in half with prices dropping from 85 and 40 per ton to 50 to 80 per ton before curing losses. A standout case: Lawrence Koesner of Hooker area planted 60 acres last spring and, with 35 hours of hired help, harvested the crop himself for a cash outlay of 13.60 per ton and sold the crop in Hooker for 49 per ton.
