Nampa--According to the Idaho Agricultural Statistics Service, farmers have harvested 39 percent of the beets in south-central Idaho as of Oct. 12. That’s ahead of both last year and the five-year average. So far yields have been less than average because of difficult growing conditions in the spring but sugar content is very good.
