Sugar Beet Plant to Be Built at Rocky Ford Colorado
Chicago January 3. The American Beet Sugar company announced plans to erect a sugar beet plant at Rocky Ford in the Arkansas valley. The facility will rank among the largest, costing about 1.5 million dollars with yearly capacity around 25 000 tons of refined sugar, using 100 000 tons of beets. Farmers near Rocky Ford plan to plant 80 000 acres this season, expecting about 40 dollars per acre profit. The project aims to bring irrigation to the former desert, and two more large plants are anticipated in the Arkansas valley within a few years.
