For nearly a decade, Fillmore County farmers believed they had discovered the future of Minnesota agriculture: Early Amber Sugar Cane. Newspapers praised it, county fairs awarded premiums for it, local mills were built to process it, and hundreds of acres were planted across the county.
In this episode of Roots & Riddles, we uncover the forgotten story of Minnesota’s sugar boom. From towering 16-foot stalks grown in Jordan Township to sugar mills near Spring Valley, amber cane promised farmers a sweet fortune. But despite the excitement, the industry vanished almost as quickly as it appeared.
What happened to Fillmore County’s sugar fields? And why did a crop once hailed as “The Great Sugar Producer of the North” disappear from our landscape?
Join us as we explore one of the sweetest—and most overlooked—chapters in local history.
