A stream of full and empty
trucks made their way to and
from the Crookston
processing plant in the fog
this morning. The harvest
was halted due to the heat
about four hours later.
After being shut down
Saturday morning because of
warm temperatures, the
American Crystal Sugar beet
harvest got rolling again
Sunday evening. But with
temperatures expecting to
approach 70 degrees today,
the harvest was temporarily
halted again at noon.
Sugarbeets are lifted and
loaded this morning in a
field west of UMC along U.S.
Highway 2. The harvest was
halted because of warm
temperatures a few hours
later. (Mike Christopherson,
