Year to Forget for Sugar Beet Growers in California
In 1976 sugar beet growers in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties and the Union Sugar Division faced a sharp price drop from 19.45 to 14.35 per hundredweight. CBGA leaders called for legislation to protect the domestic industry amid global overproduction, while opposing a return to a heavy Sugar Act regime. The International Trade Commission\nwill hold hearings on foreign imports, as Union Sugar pushes for a simple Sugar Supply Insurance Act.
