PLANT SUMMARY: The facility has processed locally grown sugar beets into refined sugar and related
agri-products since it was constructed in 1925. Sidney Sugars Incorporated acquired the facility in 2002 and
operated it through the 2023 processing campaign. At its peak, its 300 employees processed sugar beets grown
on approximately 45,000 acres in Eastern Montana. The plant is a perfect candidate to be repurposed for another industry. The plant is centrally located in Sidney, along the BNSF railroad with several thousand feet of owned rail on Parcel 1. The main rail loading building is climate controlled and has rail scales.
