Some Sugar Beets May Be Destroyed

MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) ― American Crystal Sugar Co. is warning growers for the third year in a row that they may need to destroy some beets in the field to prevent storage losses in an excessively long processing campaign.

A company official says cooperative members have been told to be prepared, even after the co-op already reduced beet plantings by nearly 15 percent this year.

There was no word on when American Crystal Sugar will make a final decision.

Crystal has plants in Moorhead, East Grand Forks and Crookston in Minnesota and in Drayton and Hillsboro, N.D.

Crystal's board decided in March to cut plantings after two consecutive years of larger-than-expected crops.
