I don't think they get any payments from the government. All the growers own shares in the processing plants and they can only produce as many acres as there shares will let them. They will not buy and process anyone else's beets so you can grow them you just can't sell them to anyone. There are shares for sale once in a while so I am sure you could buy some and be part of the club if you wanted too.
