American Crystal
About this region
From the southern end of the Red River that flows between Minnesota and North Dakota all the way to the Canada border, the American Crystal region is home to many sugarbeet growers and the American Crystal Sugar Company. Did you know that Minnesota is home to sugarbeet growers that make up the single largest state’s production of sugarbeets across North America? Some of the largest fields are found in this region with growers producing thousands of acres of sugarbeets.
This region is supported by Betaseed through breeders, researchers, and sales representatives each committed to field and operational success. Each Betaseed hybrid has been bred to withstand Aphanomyces, Rhizoctonia and rhizomania disease pressure in addition to root aphid and root maggot. Betaseed varieties are required to pass OVT trials that are heavily infested with these diseases and pests, yet meet performance requirements.
