All the American beet sugar is raised under the COOP Banner.  COOP's can be good, or bad depending on manangement.   I have seen what happens when COOP's go bad & try to steal from shareholders.  It's going to be "interesting" to see how some COOP's deal with sugar prices going back to historical prices after 2-3 years of good prices.  I've seen how COOP's can "spin the lies into the truth" in the past, almost as good as the current president.

  With $.20-.22 sugar it is going to be hard for the COOP's  to pay the extra expenses they have added the last couple years.  Easy to improve your standard of living when there is more money, tough to go back down.
