  • Sugarbeet Grower Alan Welp Tells the Tale of Two Intertwined Industries
    Western Sugar, a company now owned by farmers, closed its Goodland, Kansas sugarbeet factory in 1985. Sugar prices were low, the cost of doing business was climbing, and tough decisions were made that hurt workers and farmers. Today, thanks to no-cost sugar policy, things have turned around, and business is now booming for confectionery manufacturers.  Sugarbeet grower and Western Sugar Cooperative member Alan Welp discusses.
