Interesting that Michigan Sugar has coop owners in Ontario.
I guess I never considered that a coop would cross the international border.
Also didn't know that desugarization is a word.

Re: Huron and Eastern Customer List
Very vague article. Of the interested, three of them already have rail service. Gagetown's rail service ended when GTW pulled up the rails.
Re: Huron and Eastern Customer List
On a similar note the co-op elevator received a grant that will allow them to upgrade the bean processing facility in pigeon, tripling production capabilities. That should mean more boxcar traffic in and out of there.

Yep a trucking company out of Canada called Grace has multi axle semi trailers that truck the beets to the Croswell location all through the beet campaign it is a booming affair at Croswell im in there several times a year. And FWIW Michigan Sugar purchased the old Aunt Jane Pickle plant at Croswell and it is a giant sugar warehouse now where pallets of sugar are stored.
