Özet
 This study looks at the rise and achievements of the Red River Valley Sugarbeet Growers Association, an organization that has been a prime mover in the success of the sugarbeet industry in Minnesota and North Dakota. Sugarbeet crops developed slowly in the Red River Valley of the North, beginning in the 1920s on the farms of a few families in Polk County, Minnesota. Often no more than 15 or 20 acres of sugarbeets were grown, mostly under contract with the American Beet Sugar Company. Income from the beets was modest during much of the first decade of cultivation. Yet by the 1970s nearly two thousand farmers in the Valley were annually harvesting hundreds of thousands of acres of sugarbeets, and the American Crystal Sugar Company, a growers co-operative, was becoming one of the largest sugar producers in the United States. Since then, sugarbeet growers have played a major role in the mechanization of the domestic sugar industry, become a player in the world's sugar trade, and influenced Federal legislation concerning sugar. Using company records and dozens of oral histories of sugarbeet growers, this book tells the story of how sugar has become a dominant force in the Red River Valley's agriculture.©1997 NDSU Press (P)2026 NDSU Press
