According to World Association of Beet and Cane Growers President David Thompson, the annual WABCG conference was a great way for farmers around the globe to learn from each other. “This is just a group of farmers getting together and talking about political issues, production issues, labeling and nutrition issues they might be fighting at home. It’s a good collaborative effort to help sustain this industry as a viable industry worldwide.” Though the languages they use may differ, Thompson said they all share the language of agriculture. “We’ve all got the same issues no matter where you’re at.” Thompson farms at East Grand Forks.
