In sixteen Upstate counties sugar beets reach a national scale this year with a pound per person produced. Production could quadruple next year per Howard Bateman as farmers push for growth from a 1960 pivot sparked by the Cuban crisis. Montezuma refinery now owned by New York Sugar Industries aims for maximum efficiency as Finger Lakes Growers Association expands acreage in 1969. Chicago Patchett, a long time grower near Geneva, credits beets with stabilizing farm income and lists strong profits from the crop.
