It has been a long season for most, the same goes for the sugar beet farmers. The beets are frozen in the ground but as long as the farmers can get to them they will be delivering to Minn-Dak Farmers Co-op. This is the first time Minn-Dak has gone through a season like this one, so they've had to change up the playbook. The co-op knows the beets from here on out are going to be frozen, so now the focus is on getting beets and not frozen mud chunks which the co-op and growers are taking extra steps to prevent. Mike Metzger, VP of Agriculture for the Minn-Dak Farmers Co-op talks more about the 2019 harvest season for the farmers of Minn-Dak.
