Sugarbeet Yield Forecasts Shrink
WASHINGTON - Nov 10/09 - SNS -- Production of sugarbeets for the 2009 crop year is forecast at 29.4 million tons, 5% below the October 1 forecast but up 10% from last year, according to the latest crop production estimates from the USDA.
Growers expect to harvest 1.15 million acres, down 1% from the October 1 forecast but 15% above last year. Harvested area increased 5,000 acres in Minnesota but decreased 5,000 acres in both Montana and Wyoming where recent freeze damage adversely affected some acreage and 3,000 acres in North Dakota where abnormally wet fields this season have slowed harvest.
Expected yield is forecast at 25.6 tons per acre, down 1.2 tons from October 1 and down 1.1 tons from 2008. Record high yields are forecast in Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, and Wyoming.
