Red River Valley sugarbeet farmers have enjoyed strong yields and high sugar content this year. However, that means some acres unharvested. Red River Valley Sugarbeet Growers Association Executive Director Harrison Weber said a lot goes into that decision. “They look at things like the long-term weather forecast and what will the La Nina bring this winter? How efficient are the factories currently running and what are the projections for the rest of the year? Sugar content also plays a role in that.”
