Two Sugar Beet Growers Raise Crop in Huron County
In Huron County sugar beets were first planted in 1950 by Chase Heyman and later by Albert Lindenberger. This year Heyman farms 30.9 acres and Lindenberger seven, selling beets to Northern Ohio Sugar Company in Fremont which hires migrant labor. Harvesting began last weekend using a new harvester that processes multiple rows, enabling faster loads to Fremont. Heyman calls the season a real good year.
