Ohio Guide Photographs
Description: This is a photograph of trucks hauling sugar beets from the fields to the factory in Fremont, Ohio. This plant was most likely a part of the Northern Ohio Sugar Company which was later acquired by the Michigan Sugar Company. Sugar beet manufacturing seems to have come to the Midwest as a way to reuse land with remnants of the logging trade. Today, Michigan Sugar Company does most of its farming and manufacturing in Michigan but still uses the Fremont facility as a warehouse terminal. View on Ohio Memory.
