BEET HARVEST I S ~
Pye e, fieldmaf <i'a~e Grea' estern Sugar Oompany, re-ports th1a:t beet harvest has gotten underway rather slowly 1this ye'ar, but rthe majority of the grower& are now !hauling at a fairly steady pace. The weather has been mostly in :liavor of the farmer, wi<th only 1 ½ to 2 days ~ost ito the rain.1The late start ,this year means 'th'at every grower will have :to high-ball 1his trucks most of the time if he means to get :his eil'tire crop out before 1Jhe bad weather sets in. A.is• it stands right now, we will have to hope for three more weeks of these mild days and cool nights. !Some farmers !have 'barely gotten started in vhe fields when
mechan-1
ical bre'akd!owns have occured and the production is slow as an over-all picture.
However, those whio have been foritunate enough <to get qui,te a number of acres ,out, have come up with some very promising fig-ures. Fieldman Pyette says that the tonnage is running from 20 to 24 tons to t<he ·acre and the sugar conteil!t, although not high, is good fur an average of approximately
1'5.7%. The ltare has• vaded from
6 to 10%.
Truck drivers are badly needed.
' In fact, few farmers. have a suf-1 ficient crew. Mr. Pyette also urges
the growers should do their best 'to push harvest at as fast a clip
'as ·pos•sible for as early ,a · comple-tilon ,as possible. We all know ·how U!]predictable OctO'ber's weather can be in :Montana.
