Sugar beets are a major crop in Alberta. Cane sugar is seldom used in western Canadian homes and is also dominant in some western states. Cane sugar in anything but very small specialty containers is seldom or never seen in the usual supermarket. C&H and Imperial cane sugar are not on the shelves here.

Sugar beets produce half of U. S. sugar, and marketing makes beet sugar overwhelmingly dominant in states where sugar beet production is large. In the U. S. the Red River Valley area (from Minnesota west) is the biggest producer.
I am told that the Imperial Valley in California is becoming a large producer. Germany and the Danube area have been a major producer for 150 years.
