American Crystal Sugar Company’s pre-pile campaign began Tuesday. General Agronomist Joe Hastings is expecting a good crop despite a late start. “We’ve got some spotty rains which helped loosen the ground for harvest.” Current yield estimates are in the upper 20-ton range. “Twenty-eight-to-28.5 (ton) is what we’re estimating. Sugar content is higher than average for this time of year at 14.2 percent.”
