The 2021 American Crystal Sugar Company harvest produced 11.8 million tons, a notable increase from the previous year. The final shareholder payment for the 2021 fiscal crop was $64.98 per ton. President Tom Astrup says payments for the 2022 crop are estimated at $71 per ton. “We’ve been blessed with large, high-quality crops. We’ve had great through-put in our processing facilities and cost efficiencies in the face of input pressure.” ACSC hopes to increase production, but expansion costs are putting those plans on the backburner for now. “At the factory level, costs for everything is increasing, whether it’s labor, spare parts, machinery, or natural gas.”
