According to Red River Valley Sugarbeet Growers Association Executive Director Harrison Weber, the sugar industry is still evaluating its farm bill platform. “We want to make sure we’re on the same page within the beet sector, but also with our sugarcane brotheren; making sure that we’re going as a unified voice,” said Weber. “Like a lot of other groups, (we’re looking at) reference prices with sugar and at different tweaks to crop insurance, how certain programs are administered, certain dates, stuff like that. Not ready yet to release specifics but from a high level those are some of the things we’re exploring.”
