Labor Drain Hits South Texas Farms in Sugar Beet Harvest
Work crews are being recruited from South Texas as hundreds of laborers head to sugar beet fields in Colorado and Midwest states. Three recruiting agencies have paid licensing fees totaling tens of thousands, with profits split among agencies and firms like Great Western Sugar, Crystal Sugar, and Avesta.
