Sugar mill plan eyed for Hereford area as 1964 acreage set
Congressman George Mahon hailed USDA approval of 24 730 acres of sugar beets for 1964 to spur a new Holly Sugar mill near Hereford Texas while others in Castro Deaf Smith and Palmer counties and in New Mexico’s Curry County sought inclusion. He urged broader county participation and urged more mills locally with aim of boosting farm income and cattle feed via beet pulp. The Hereford mill could cost about 20 million dollars and employ 300 workers with a 24 hour operation.
