Beet Price Stand Still for 1945 Sugar Beets
Sugar beet growers heard no increase in government support prices for 1945 beets at a meeting with Earl Wilson of the Commodity Credit Corporation. The program maintains about $12.50 per ton, with a planted acre goal exceeding 951,000 and growers fearing lower plantings and labor shortages push farmers toward other crops. Charles E. Franklin urged a minimum of $15 per ton as a safeguard for 1945.
