The sugarbeet campaign is scheduled to start Tuesday, but the temperature could be a factor. “The staff at American Crystal Sugar is going to be looking at the root temperature. Whenever that root temperature gets below 55 degrees, we can pile a good healthy product for the winter,” says Brent Baldwin, president, Red River Valley Sugarbeet Growers Association. “We’re looking at roughly a 30-ton crop and the further into October we get, these beets aren’t going to quit growing.”
