I'm not familiar with the turbine cleaning solution. Soil can be a bit sandy in areas, but the vigorous tumbling does a rather good job removing most of the stuck-on dirt. They receive an additional tumbling on the Piler at the beet dump similar to the one on the harvester and the remainder of the dirt is largely removed. I will try to get a video of the Pilers next year for sure!

@ElevatedHorizonsDroneSer-zf3cm i don´t know if turbine was the right word ... but like all the Ropa, Vervaet, Holmer, etc harvesters have ... 🙂,

@@lepaul26 Ok I see what you are saying. I would say 95% of the dirt is removed from our beets. They get a wash process once at the refinement facility to get them perfectly clean. I am sure the beets' price reflects a percentage of dirt as a flat rate. Since we pile the beets on the ground for a few months a thin layer of dirt on the beets might help with thermal management.

Thanks! I admit I wanted to get footage of the beet dump but was unable due to time constraints. I used only the best clips of all my footage I wanted to keep the point short and clear, longer form videos are better with spoken context-something I will consider doing in the future.

Southeast Idaho- American Falls

I figured it was Idaho because of the Parma beet harvester.

This is a 12 row harvester, the weight and power demand would simply be far too great, not to mention the rugged terrain in this area makes such a large machine cumbersome. There are dedicated sugar beet harvesters that top in front, harvest and store beets in a hopper all in one big machine, however it is only maybe 6 or less rows at a time! I have never seen those types of machines other than on Farm Sim games. Great thought experiment in any case!
