Sugar contract talks loom in Great Western dispute
Representatives of Great Western Sugar Co and five Western state beet growers met amid a 5 percent hour session to finalize terms of a three year crop contract. The tentative pact would pay 1976 crop under last year’s terms while 1977 and 1978 would base payments on beet sugar purity. Governor Lamm mediated after talks stalled over a shift to per ton payments. If no contract emerges growers threaten to switch to other crops.
