Officials look for a yield averaging- 28.9 tons to the acre, with sugar content of 17.5 percent. Those are positive numbers, reflec tive of a pretty good growing season. - At the same time, the sugar beet industry is looking at prices at 30-year lows. And when the net selling price of sugar largely determines what growers are paid, that’s a sobering reality. “It’s not great; it’s not a rosy picture just because of prices,” admits Ric Rodriguez of Powell, vice chairman of the Western Sugar Cooperative board of directors. “Other commodities are all down, but not at the grocery store. Somebody’s making some money.” Still, Rodriguez finds a silver lining in the clouds — both companywide and for the grower base. The price of sugar is off at the mo ment, but there is improvement on the- horizon, he said. “There are some production prob lems worldwide. According to the - economists, there is going to be a little shortage of sugar worldwide, and that will mean higher sugar prices in a few years,” he said. “I’m just an optimist. You have to be.” Area businesses — Let us help you reach your ag audience! And so it becomes something of a waiting game, nothing new in the com modity business. -

While its economic impact is significant, the college’s contributions to our community’s culture and enjoyment are just as important. Because of NWC, Powell residents regularly enjoy wonderful concerts, athletic events, art shows, photography exhibits, visits from authors and an array of multicultural programs. Folks also can sign up to take a class at NWC or learn a new skill through the NWC Center for Training and Development. Powell Valley Community Education courses also are under the umbrella of NWC. Community members regularly use NWC facilities, whether it’s hosting an event there or working out at the gym. In many ways, the Powell community and Northwest College depend on one another — and have for the past 70 years. A new effort called Connect to Community (C2C) recognizes that. The program arose from Powell Economic Partnership discussions earlier this year and led to the Paint the Town Red events over the weekend. We know that Powell businesses proudly support Northwest College, and hope students will choose to shop locally and eat at restaurants here. And we hope locals support students by attend- ing college events and reaching out to them. For Powell to thrive and local businesses to succeed, NWC plays a key part. It’s in our community’s best interest to truly be a college town.
