Harvest- Another successful sugarbeet campaign has come to a close. According to the Sidney Herald officials with Sidney Sugars seemed very pleased with the harvest this year, especially considering the issues growers had in getting the crop planted and growing. Averages for this year's crop were;
Tonnage-25.3 tons/acre
Sugar Content-17.57
Total Acreage-29,069
As far as other crops are concerned, just about everything is harvested for this year. There is still some corn out there but not much.
Weather- Weather for the month of October has been just about perfect for harvest activities. Although it was a bit too warm at the beginning to allow for much beet harvest, this actually lead to the accumulation of a few more degree days which promoted some last minute beet growth.
