Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative

Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative has received mixed reviews regarding its operations. Customers express frustration with the current guard shack procedures, particularly the lack of proper training for new employees. While some older staff members, like Joe, are praised for being helpful and friendly, the newer staff are often seen as clueless and poorly trained. Additionally, issues such as a malfunctioning CB radio and cold waiting conditions have been highlighted. On the loading side, there are complaints about the muddy, uneven ground for loading beet pulp pellets, as well as the absence of a scale, which complicates the loading process. Despite these challenges, loading times can be quick once the process begins, although there may be delays due to staff multitasking during the night. Overall, improvements in training and facility conditions could enhance the experience for customers.
