UNDATED - Sugar beet growers are exploring a buyout of Western
Sugar Company, but they’re concerned about taking on new debt.
Wyoming grower David Northrup says growers are also concerned
about the oversupply of sugar, and the shakiness of the federal
sugar-beet support program. A growers’ cooperative has been
formed, to explore the possibility of buying the six Western Sugar
refineries, including the one in Billings. Growers have until
Saturday, to respond to a request for money to study the idea.
