Manitoba's 1950 sugar beet crop is estimated at 155,250 tons, a record in 11 years of the industry.

Frost delays risked lower yield and quality, but late Red River district plantings and fair maturity offer optimism. The previous record was 128,800 tons from 14,180 acres in 1942 yielding 26,860,800 pounds of sugar.
