My family bought the first ROPAs in the United States and we’re all proud sugar farmers up here in Michigan

I love watching my cousins harvest sugar beets in michigan.

In Minnesota and North Dakota, the beet plants start a pre-pile harvest in September and the main harvest starts about October 1, if the weather is cool enough. The temperatures need to be cold enough for them to maintain the sugar. If it is too warm, the beet actually starts a rotting process. The farmers haul 24 hours a day for about 14 days. The Plant starts up in September and continues until about mid-April.

She has pigs, squirrels, muntjacs (tiny deer with fangs) and a lot of other critters that she shares her home with.

*In Minnesota and North Dakota, the sugar beet harvest is a precise operation. The cool temperatures are crucial to preserving the sugar content. Farmers work tirelessly during the 14-day haul, and the plant operates from September to mid-April.* 🚜🌱

@@tony98discovery I still don't know what a sugar beet is. A bulb, and are the leaves used too or just for animal fodder ? Is a syrup made out of them and if so what is it used for ? A better explanation for people who have no idea what they are would be good.

My good lord you guys are hardworking. Loved watching the process.

Beet harvesting used to be massive crop over here in Ireland

Great videos Tony ! Watching from Florida, I find farming videos very fascinating.

Very informative, didn realise that so much beet was grown in the US.

I remember 15 years ago in Michigan. There was a warm winter and the turnips in the pile began to rot.

If you haven't seen how the mountains of harvested beets pile up, it is an amazing sight.

I picked strawberries in PA when I was 14 years old for 2 week to earn some cash when school out. Boy it was a back breaking job. Then in 1989 I was paid .50 cents a pint. I'm 47 now I can never do that again. I appreciate the workers that bring us food to our table.

In Michigan, growers can't use drops for cider. Once the apple hits the ground, that's it. It can't be sold in any form. I live in the Fruit Ridge area of West Michigan and I have apple orchards on all sides of my property. For the past 6 years we go out in the orchard and pick up the drops and make cider. On October 22nd of 2022 all the kids and grandkids came over and we made 27 gallons of cider. It's a fun family time!
