Expanded Sugarbeet Numbers
WASHINGTON - Oct 10/08 - SNS -- Production of sugarbeets in 2008 is forecast at 28.0 million tons, 7% above the September forecast but 12% below 2007's production of 31.9 million tons, according to the USDA's latest crop production estimates.
Growers expect to harvest 1.05 million acres, 4,600 acres below the September forecast and the lowest acreage since 1982. The yield is forecast at 26.5 tons per acre, up 1.8 tons from September and up 0.9 ton from the previous year.
If realized, this will be the highest yield on record. Yields were at or above last year's level in all States except in the Pacific Northwest. As of September 28, harvest was 7% complete in the four major producing States, 3 points behind normal.
