[Sca-cooks] CAne vs Beet sugar

[Sue Clemenger]

I think they must have been a significant crop here, too (NW Montana).
At least at one point...the software company for whom I work is housed
in a reconverted sugar beet factory.  There are a few pictures of the
buildings and surrounding area dating back to the factory days...lots of
railroad tracks, so perhaps the beets were just shipped here.
Hmmm...I may have to go *shopping* this weekend, and look for both
kinds.....
