American Crystal Sugar Company General Agronomist Joe Hastings is happy with this year’s crop. “We will probably be shy of 29 tons and the sugar percentage is likely around 18 percent. It’s a good crop.” Many sugarbeet growers are already planning next year’s crop. “It’s likely that a lot of seed is already purchased. The official variety trial information will be coming out in the next few weeks so farmers can evaluate what they want to try. Farmers should also be securing their input needs to make sure they’ve got what they need.”
