Six Iowa Counties Target Sugar Beet Crop Rise
Six northern Iowa counties Cerro Gordo Hancock Kossuth Winnebago Worth and Wright are expected to provide most of Iowa's 6000 acre sugar beet goal per ex tension botanist H P Sylvester at Iowa State College. Favorable soil temperature and near market conditions exist in these counties. From 1938 to 1941 Iowa produced over 5000 acres of sugar beets annually. Beets should be planted before corn planting time on rich mineral soil free of weeds. Peat and muck land yield high volumes but lower sugar content. Sugar beets are needed to support domestic supplies military lend lease and industrial needs and to offset dwindling sugar stockpiles from foreign sources.
