American Crystal Sugar Company’s full sugarbeet harvest campaign kicked off on Wednesday. At noon, several factory districts went into a heat shutdown for 12 hours. Ada, Minnesota farmer John Brainard feels good about harvest so far. “Tonnage is good, slightly above average. We don’t have the sugar reports back yet.” In Hallock, Minnesota, Dan Younggren is also harvesting sugarbeets. “Harvest is going remarkably well for as much precipitation as we’ve had. It’s sticky and gummy, but overall, it looks like a great harvest on the northern end of the Red River Valley. Sugar content is good as well.”
