Koch, American Crystal Sugar among top sedition funders

Moorhead, Minnesota-based American Crystal Sugar has announced it will shutter its crumbling factory in Sidney, Montana where it processes genetically engineered sugar beets.

Companies and trade associations that pledged to suspend donations have given more than $12 million to the campaign and leadership PACs of the Sedition Caucus. Koch Industries ($626,500), American Crystal Sugar ($530,000), Home Depot ($525,000), Boeing ($488,000), and UPS ($479,500) have contributed the most money to members of the Sedition Caucus through their corporate PACs. [Corporations have given $40 million to the Sedition Caucus]

Earlier this month US Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced the "Healthy Meals Incentives Initiative  to reward schools that go above and beyond in the health of their meals, as well as provide grants to small and rural schools to improve the nutrition in their lunchrooms." USDA wants to restrict sugar, sodium and non-whole grains in school meals and make other changes to the program.

American Crystal Sugar is a major donor to South Dakota's current Republican governor.
