Sugar Beets Pay Farmers Millions in Colorado
The Denver Times reports that last Saturday owners of Loveland Rocky Ford Sugar City and Grand Junction beet factories paid farmers over $100,000. The piece estimates at least $2,000,000 in cash will reach Colorado growers by season end, with five times that to beet raisers nationwide. It frames the issue as a battle against the sugar trust in Congress.
