Western Sugar Cooperative has over a century-long heritage as a domestic sugar producer, with 135,000 base acres spread across Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Montana in the United States. The co-op is made up of over 700 growers and shareholders who take pride in having a long family history in beet sugar, some of whom are fourth or even fifth generation growers. With many growers born and raised around sugar beets, the lifestyle of hard work and long days involved in sugar beet growing has been passed down through the generations. It’s the same for Western Sugar’s employees, some of whom have a tenure with the co-op spanning more than 50 years.
