Beet and Cane Growers Conference Draws Global Audience

This year’s World Association of Beet and Cane Growers Annual Conference was held in the United States for the first time in 20 years. Red River Valley Sugarbeet Growers Association Executive Vice President Harrison Weber was pleased with how the Fargo event came together. “We’ve got 70 growers from 18 different countries around the world here learning about sugar markets, ethanol markets, and the domestic industry here.” According to Weber, the farm bill was a big talking point this year. “Our policy is entwined with the rest of the globe so there were a lot of discussions about the farm bill and its impact.”
