During this week’s Crop Watch stop near Ada, Minnesota, American Sugarbeet Growers Association President Neil Rockstad said planting wrapped up in late April, and crop development is on track. “The sugarbeet stands on my farm are good,” said Rockstad. “I know there’s some variability. There was some damage from crusting and that wind and hot weather that we had. I was very fortunate right here for whatever reason.” Recent heat has helped crop emergence. “Soybeans are emerging, they’re looking nice. The corn is shooting up now with these last few days of hot weather, looking good.”
