Abstract
Sugarbeets are grown on nearly 1.5 million acres in the United States, with a production value in excess of $1.1 billion for the 1997 crop year. In Nebraska, sugarbeets are grown on over 65,000 acres in a dozen western counties generating over $36 million dollars in farm revenue. There are two active sugar refineries in the area that contribute to the local economy in terms of value added activity.
