CHRISTMAS 1907 EMPLOYEE AWARD PLAQUE: LARGEST SUGAR RUN BY NIGHTSHIFT I327
This is one of the most interesting items we\'ve come across. This metal plaque, with two small holes for hanging at the top, was presented by the nightshift for the largest run of sugar at 3135 sacks (uncertain for what time period). Obviously handmade, this items shows nice design, butsadly it lacks the name or location of the company so providing a definitive location is not possible.
This came to us from Western Nebraska, a region with ties to the sugar beet industry. Please do your own research.
Google AI suggested the following:
Nebraska\'s sugar industry began in 1890 with the opening of a sugar beet factory in Grand Island, which spurred the growth of the state\'s first sugar beet farming and processing operations. Initially known as the Oxnard Beet Sugar Company, the Grand Island factory became one of the first commercially successful beet sugar operations in the U.S. and was eventually acquired by the American Crystal Sugar Company. The industry expanded, particularly into Western Nebraska and the Panhandle, which are the primary sugar beet-growing regions today. The labor-intensive nature of sugar beet farming historically relied on Mexican and Mexican American migrant workers, as well as Germans from Russia, to perform fieldwork.___weight: ~77.48 g
