Bitter sugar policy eyes war on beet growers
The administration pushed a sugar bill through committee with no record vote, threatening to cut the tariff by half if not passed. It sets a 1,550,000 ton beet quota and 260,000 tons for cane, while placing sugar under farm adjustment act quotas. Secretary Wallace could fix imports, heightening beet farmers’ vulnerability ahead of elections. Critics say the move favors Cuban and foreign sugar investments over American beet growers, threatening the beet industry. The farm population grew to 32,509,000 while urban migration continued.
