Beets Took the Brunt of the Weather Volatility

BASF Business Rep Ryan Casavan covers western Minnesota north of Highway 10 and is optimistic about the small grains crop. The sugarbeet crop is another story. “First, we had the wind and hot weather that blew some of them out, we got sandblasted, and I was in some fields where there were some crusting issues. I think the sugarbeets took the brunt of the early issues with weather we had this year, but as I’m driving around, they look pretty good. There are a couple of places where the stands aren’t quite as consistent, but they’re perking up right now.”
