An official with the Michigan Sugar Company says phenomenal weather over the winter led to one of their best processing campaigns and has set up farmers for an early planting season.
Executive Vice President Jim Ruhlman tells Brownfield, “We had high-quality beets going in, almost perfect storage conditions, and our factories ran extremely well.” “We had a processing season like I’ve not seen in many, many years—it was just extraordinary,” he says.
Michigan Sugar sliced more than four million tons of sugarbeets and produced more than 1.17 billion pounds of sugar from beets while setting new records at the Sebewaing and Croswell factories.
