Darley seeks Denver aid to boost northern Colorado sugar factories
Ward Darley, beet growers spokesman for northern Colorado, urged the Denver Chamber of Commerce to back hearings on expanding sugar production. He outlined a plan for flat 3.50 per ton beet payments, with profits over 10 percent split between farmers and company, fewer retail disruptions, and no cooperative system. Farmers seek 40,000 acres pledged by August to justify factory funding of 2 to 5 million dollars, with chamber help to secure financiers.
