Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative plans to begin pre-pile today. Yost Farm at Murdock raises beets and it appears to be a large crop. “They’re projecting something like a 32-ton crop,” reports Michael Yost. Due to these production levels, SMBSC growers may not be able to harvest as much as 25 percent of the crop. “That’s not ideal. It’s a big crop, but at the same time, that typically means some of it will not get lifted or harvested.”
