Pre-pile sugarbeet harvest is expected to begin around August 23 for American Crystal Sugar Company. This allows more time for the replanted sugarbeets. General Agronomist Joe Hastings says yield samples are being taken. “We are below the five-year average for tonnage and quality,” said Hastings. “Our yield estimate is still at 25.3 tons. We usually average 29 tons per ace.” American Crystal tried to balance things out by adding 50,000 acres to production.”It’s a balancing act.”
