American Crystal Sugar Company is celebrating its 50th anniversary as a cooperative (https://www.sugarproducer.com/2023/12/50-years-ago-sugarbeet-growers) and has released a video showing some highlights over the years.
The caption on the video states, “Fifty years ago, a group of growers took a chance and bought a failing sugar company and built the world’s first farmer-owned sugar cooperative.”
It’s definitely worth a look see.
