American Crystal Sugar Company General Agronomist Joe Hastings says the co-op has had shutdowns due to heat and freezing temps during the same week. Hastings remains happy with harvest. “The daily sugar content has been great, probably around that 19 percent. I think the yearly average will be around 18.5 percent. We expected tonnage to be down because of our late planting but they still responded very nicely so it wasn’t a complete skunk.”
