Sugar Market Update 

Sugar Market Update 

August 5, 2026 Farm News News -- KRJB-KRJM-KKCQ 0

Like many other ag markets, the US Sugar Market is going through hardship. However, unlike many other markets, sugar producers and processors can point to unfair trade practices as a big reason for these issues. Former American Sugarbeet Growers Association President Neil Rockstad talks more about these struggles facing the sugar industry, and what’s being done.

Rockstad says getting this issue sorted is important, as the US can’t afford to lose any more sugar processors. 

Rockstad is a guest on the Farm & Field Show, which will air this afternoon from 2:00 to 5:00 on KRJB 106.5 FM and on the R&J Radio App.
