TORRINGTON – Goshen County’s sugar beet crop has rebounded
after a slow start.
“We took our first root samples on Monday,” Holly Sugar
agriculture manager Rick Griffith told the Torrington Telegram
recently. “We were real surprised at the results.”
The samples were the heaviest seen in the last 10 years, and this
year’s crop is approximately 2 tons per acre ahead of last year,
he said.
“We are attributing the results of those samples to our growers
irrigating earlier and the fact that heat units are ahead of last
year,” he said. “The samples are a good indication that the crop
is growing and is healthy.”
