Each new factory of the Great Western Sugar Company quickly became the
hub of the agricultural community in which it was built. Sugar beets were
cultivated in Colorado as early as 1869, and tests conducted by the State
Agricultural College in Fort Collins a decade later confirmed that Colorado
soil could yield up to 30 tons of sugar beets per acre. The first sugar beet
processing factory in Colorado was built in Grand Junction in 1899. By 1906,
beet sugar factories had been constructed in Rocky Ford, Loveland, Greeley,
Eaton, Fort Collins, Longmont, Windsor, Sterling, Fort Morgan and Brush.
In 1903, New York businessman Henry O. Havemeyer purchased the
Loveland plant, and within a short time bought the sugar factories in Fort
Collins, Windsor and Longmont. Two years later, with capital stock worth $20
million, the Havemeyer trust drew up a corporate charter under New Jersey laws.
The Great Western Sugar Company was incorporated on February 27, 1905. As head
of the American Sugar Refining Company, by the time of his death in 1907
Havemeyer had become a dominant force in the American beet and cane sugar
industry. His son, Horace, served as a director at Great Western from 1907
until 1949.
Chester S. Morey, one of the investors who built the Loveland factory
in 1901, served as president of the Great Western Sugar Company from 1910 until
1917. Under his direction, sugar beet factories were built or purchased in
Scottsbluff, Gering and Bayard, Nebraska; Billings, Montana; Lovell, Wyoming
and Brighton, Colorado. With the onset of World War I in Europe, exports of
sugar beet seeds to America declined. Great Western research labs, established
in Denver in 1913 by W. C. Graham, found methods for producing sufficient seed
for company growers. The laboratories later developed techniques for
controlling webworm infestation, which destroyed over 180,000 acres of sugar
beets in 1918.
In 1917, as the United States became involved in World War I, William
L. Petrikin took over the presidency of the Great Western Sugar Company. During
his tenure, the company built or acquired processing plants in Fort Lupton,
Ovid and Johnstown as well as in the Nebraska communities of Mitchell, Minatare
and Lyman.
The Johnstown factory was built in 1926 (under the supervision of
Great Western general manager William D. Lippitt) for the purpose of recovering
additional products from the thousands of tons of pulp left after the sugar was
extracted from the beets. In a process utilizing barium, sugar was recovered
from the waste molasses from the other factories. Although this recovered sugar
was unsuitable for human consumption, it could be used for cattle feed pellets
and fertilizer. Lippitt went on to become president of the Great Western Sugar
Company in 1931, but his life was ended by a horse accident three years
later.
The next notable president of Great Western would be Frank A. Kemp, a
former lawyer. Under his leadership, the company acquired subsidiaries
including the Great Western Railway, the Ingleside Limestone Company and the
Cache la Poudre Company. Great Western pushed for the construction of
reservoirs and supported the Big Thompson Water Diversion Project. Insights
gained by company researchers concerning increased yields, pest control methods
and innovative equipment were passed on to growers through the company
publications,
Through the Leaves and
Upbeet.
During the early decades of Great Western's history, the beet sugar
work force consisted mainly of German-Russian laborers who became farmers. With
the outbreak of the second world war, Japanese-Americans, forced from their
homes and businesses on the West Coast, made their way to Colorado and Wyoming
and provided labor on the beet farms. After the war, this Japanese-American
work force was augmented by Mexican migrant workers, known as "braceros."
By the mid 1930s, Colorado was the state with the largest number of
beet sugar factories (sixteen) in the United States, and Great Western owned
and operated thirteen of them. Although Colorado and California were the top
beet sugar producing states from 1935 to 1958, the post-war years saw a gradual
decline in the profitability of the Great Western Sugar Company operations.
In 1954, an addition to the Johnstown plant began producing monosodium
glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer. This boosted profits for a time, but the
sagging sugar market soon led Great Western to sell its Ingleside Limestone and
Cache la Poudre subsidiaries. Poor management policies and a failure to
modernize its sugar processing factories caused additional problems for Great
Western.
The Great Western Sugar Company became part of the Great Western
United Corporation in 1968. Great Western United diversified its holdings
through the purchase of many other companies, including Shakey's Pizza, the
California City Development Company and the Colorado Milling and Elevator
Company. Falling sugar prices during the 1970s led to the sale of Great Western
United in 1977 to the Hunt International Resources Company, owned by the Hunt
brothers of Dallas, Texas.
The management of the Great Western Sugar Company moved to Dallas,
where Ivan Beelenberg acted as president. In an attempt to increase
profitability, Beenlenberg initiated new corporate policies and cut budgets and
manpower. In 1978, Great Western entered the cane sugar market with the
purchase of the Godchaux-Henderson Sugar Company located in Reserve, Louisiana.
Two years later, Great Western closed the Johnstown sugar factory, and in 1982
the Johnstown MSG plant shifted to the production of high fructose corn
syrup.
Competition from cane sugar and corn syrup, both less expensive to
produce, as well as from artificial sweeteners such as saccharine and
aspartame, led to a further decline in beet sugar prices. By the early 1980s,
the Ovid, Bayard and Lovell factories were forced to close their doors when
local beet growers refused to continue planting sugar beets. The Mountain
States Beet Growers Association attempted to purchase six factories from Great
Western in 1984, but their bid was too low and the Hunts filed for Chapter 11
reorganization in bankruptcy court.
In 1985, the Great Western Sugar Company was forced to lay off 350
employees. A Colorado and Kansas growers' association purchased the few
Colorado factories that were still operational for $67 million. The Holly Sugar
Corporation purchased Great Western's operations in Louisiana and Ohio, and the
firm of Tate and Lyle bought the remaining Nebraska, Billings and Lovell
plants, along with the Great Western logo, trademark and name.
Much of the historical information provided above is summarized from
"A Brief History of the Great Western Sugar Company," an archival report
prepared by Michael Goolsby and Michael McDermott, available in the collection
files. More comprehensive historical accounts of the sugar company are found in
The Great Western Sugarlands: History of the Great
Western Sugar Company by William John May (Ph.D. dissertation,
University of Colorado, Boulder, 1982) and
The Grand Old Days of Great Western,
published by the Great Western Sugar Company in 1960. Other sources of
information on Great Western and the sugar beet industry in general include
Elvon L. Howe's
GW (Great Western Sugar Company, 1955) and
The Beet Sugar Story, U.S. Beet Sugar
Association, 1959.
The Records of the Great Western Sugar Company consists of
photographic prints, contact sheets, negatives, slides, audio and videotapes
and motion picture films produced by company photographers. Most of the
photographs are black-and-white, but there are also a small number of color
prints in the collection. A few boxes of textual materials are included,
although most of the textual company records were donated by Great Western to
the University of Colorado at Boulder. The photographs and documents are dated
1893 to 1984, with the bulk falling from 1950 to 1975. Photograph subjects
include Great Western employees, factories, farms and farming equipment,
growers and laborers.
Records of the Great Western Sugar Company, Colorado Agricultural
Archive, Colorado State University.
The photographic records and related textual files had previously been
stored by Great Western at the company's Mono Hy office in Longmont, Colorado.
In March 1990, forty boxes of textual materials pertaining to Great Western
operations were transferred from the Colorado Agricultural Archive to the
Western Historical Collections of the University of Colorado Libraries.
The Records of the Great Western Sugar Company was donated to the
Colorado Agricultural Archive on March 8, 1988, by Larry D. Steward, Vice
President of the Great Western Sugar Company. In 1990, additional Great Western
Sugar Company photographic materials were transferred from the Western
Historical Collections of the University of Colorado Libraries to the Colorado
Agricultural Archive. The Colorado Agricultural Archive became part of the
Colorado State University Libraries, Archives and Special Collections
Department in 2004.
The collection was received in disorder. Some of the photographs were
housed in labeled file folders or envelopes, but many were loose in the boxes.
Preliminary inventories were created in 1988 and 1989. Archival students Joe
Coca, Peggy Culbert and Diana Wess sorted the collection in 1991 by material
type, then grouped photographic prints in acid-free folders according to
location or subject, if the location was unknown. Negatives were housed in
acid-free archival sleeves, and nitrate-based negatives were isolated and will
be disposed of after prints or digital images are made from them. Additional
processing is planned for the slides, audio and videotapes, 16mm films and
textual materials within this collection.
Additional information concerning the cultivation and harvesting of
sugar beets may be found in the Records of the Colorado Cooperative Extension,
the Records of the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station and the Papers of
Daniel W. Working, all housed in the Colorado Agricultural Archive at Colorado
State University. The textual records of the Great Western Sugar Company are
preserved in the Western Americana collection in the Archives of the University
of Colorado at Boulder.
