Abstract: U.S. sugar beet acreage varies considerably as producers adjust to expected prices of sugar beets and alternative crops. This paper discusses the specification of a regional supply response simulation model and presents estimated supply elasticities. The model is used to project regional sugar beet acreage to 1990 under three alternative scenarios.
