Who We Are

Thank you for visiting the American Sugarbeet Growers Association's website. 

The purpose of the organization is to unite sugarbeet growers in the United States and promote the common interest of state and regional beet grower associations, which include legislative and international representation and public relations.

Our members associations represent 10,000 family farmers in all 11 producing states (California, Colorado, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming).  The Board of Directors donate their time and talents to ASGA in order to represent their growers' interests in maintaining a strong, profitable, efficient and productive industry.  They and their fellow farmers are dedicated to supplying a portion of the consumer's sweetner needs.  It is a challenge and responsibility that they take seriously and proudly accept. 

Luther Markwart - Executive Vice President, Alan Welp - Ex Officio, Russ Mauch - President, Mike Wheeler - Treasurer.
