Farmers Face Heavy Wheat Losses in 1942 Warns Saxton
Edward C. Saxton, chairman of the Clermont County Triple-A Committee, warns that a 1942 wheat crop loss would hit farmers harder than any in a decade. He notes high prices persist, acreage is smaller, and without crop insurance many farmers lose cash on even a few bushels. Saxton adds insurance covers up to 75 percent of normal yield and protects against risks like winter-kill and hail. He urges storing extra bushels to secure next year’s sale.
