Crystal to build dike at headquarters
American Crystal Sugar Co. is planning permanent flood protection for its headquarters on the banks of the Red River in Moorhead.
MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) — American Crystal Sugar Co. is planning permanent flood protection for its headquarters on the banks of the Red River in Moorhead.
President Dave Berg told KFGO radio that officials had to scramble to pile sandbag levees during 2009 flooding. This year, tons of clay have been hauled in for a permanent levee.
The dike will cost more than $100,000. Berg says it’s worth it because the levee will protect the corporate offices and the sugar beet cooperative’s computer system.
