Beets in Decline May Push Farmers to Other Crops
William Carson of the Nyssa-Nampa Sugar Beet Growers Association warns that a high government crop estimate and resulting low sugar beet prices may drive farmers to switch to more profitable crops next year. He cites a total $12.50 per ton for current beets, with $4.00 still to be paid, and notes Washington hearings favored lowering the estimate to prevent an overabundance. He argues selective acreage cuts could preserve beet profits without disrupting the broader farm economy.
