Rosendale Reacts to Sidney Sugars Beet Factory Closure

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Matt Rosendale (MT-02) released the following statement after American Crystal Sugar Company announced it would be closing its factory in Sidney, Montana.

“I am disappointed to hear that American Crystal will be closing the Sidney factory after the conclusion of this year’s campaign,” said Rep. Rosendale. “The factory and sugar beet industry have been a large part of Sidney and the surrounding communities for over 100 years. The loss of 300 jobs and millions of dollars in economic impact will certainly be a detriment to our entire region. I am hopeful that this will not be a permanent closure and production can continue in the future.”
