Western Sugar Cooperative
Description
Western Sugar Cooperative is made up of 1,000 growers and shareholders who take pride in investing hard work into creating our high quality sugar
Western Sugar Cooperative is made up of 1,000 growers and shareholders who take pride in having a long family history in beet sugar. Some are 4th, or even 5th, generation growers who were born and raised around sugar beets. The lifestyle of hard work and long days involved in sugar beet growing has been passed down for the 100 years Western Sugar has existed. The trend of longevity extends to our employees as well where some have worked with Western Sugar for over 50 years. We aspire to build the same loyalty we have among our growers and employees with our customers by continuing to invest hard work into creating our high quality sugar.
