Great video. I’ve done a couple myself. Hauling beets is my favorite job. It’s hard to explain but there’s nothing else like it. I’ve hauled to east grand, Oslo, ardoch, st Thomas, bathgate and Hamilton piling sites. East grand is my favorite place to haul in. Many times I’ve ran my 12 hour shift and then ran a few more hours because of someone not showing up. I could dig and haul beets everyday and never get tired of it. Thanks for bringing us along
I used to live in the Red River Valley, south of Fargo, and worked for an implement dealer. Beet harvest is a very hectic and stressful time of the year. When it tains and the fields get muddy, it really can get nasty out there.
Mitch, amazing video, but they all are. Thanks for explaining the operation for probably the umpteenth time ;} (I've got so many vids to catch up on.} The drone shots - Phenomenal. God Bless.
What a fantastic production. Your episodes are fascinating but this one was top notch. I will stop piling on praises as the pile raises. Thanks again for bringing us along👍👍👍
I did beet harvest in western Nebraska for 32 years. I ran the topper, beet cart, and pullers tractor. Never had run the digger. We couldn’t dump the Tate in the field because of the nemtoads
Hi Mitch, Jenny, and Oliver!!! Cool shots and drone footage of beet dumping and piles. Hope you packed a toothbrush to brush the dirt out of your teeth before kissing Jenny and Oliver. (Ha!Ha!)
And make sure your chains are stuck on your end gate. Had a guy come through my piler that had his chain stuck so his gate couldn't open when he went to unload.
Excellent drone video from over the piler. Someone suggested a video from the inside of a factory. That might be hard to arrange but here’s a little more simple idea…. Can you explain the life cycle of a beet from planting through harvest? Now, right before stockpile harvest, it would be interesting to folks who don’t know sugar beets to learn how they accumulate sugar through photosynthesis.
That little pile? Those most likely will get hauled into East Grand Forks plant and then they will start all over for the main harvest beginning in Oct. Then you will see some major piles O Beets. Probably about three-fourish times wider & higher than those piles.
Listening to your grandfather's classic rock! That's so unexpected. Do you also like guitars subjected to extreme tube amp distortion? (Which was absolutely NOT in the Doobie Bros wheelhouse.) Seek out Frijid Pink's cover of House of the Rising Sun. FP were one hit wonders and their cover of HotRS reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of 4.4.1970 so it predated the Doobies a little bit. Can you reveal how much it costs to play one of the Doobies hits in a video? Rick Beato has discussed the subject in some of his videos but he only says it will cause the video to be demonitized.
Hello, I have question how do you determine the sugar content of your beets ? Because for example in Slovakia (Europe) we are doing samples on scales from every 4th truck randomly. Do you have something simular ? Thank you in advance for your answer.
If sugar beet, potatoes, some vegetable crops, and corn silage etc can be dumped into a truck while the harvester keeps going, there is no reason why soybeans or wheat cant be dumped into a semi while the combine continues to harvest the beans or the wheat. By eliminating the tractor and cart it means less augering of the grain which means less fines in the grain, less diesel used, less wear on machinery, less manpower required, less soil compaction of the soil since a tractor and cart dont have to drive back and forth between the combine and truck. This will mean higher profits.
@@John-nc4bl the thing about grains & beans the combine hoppers take quite a bit longer to fill then they do with beets or vegetables. So the trucks would be continuously following the harvesters all around the fields to fill them. Making more soil compaction compared to a tractor and cart with big wheels or tracks. Also the trucks would be making tracks and ruts and getting stuck if it's soft. So instead they pull up to the combine only when it's full, instead of chasing the combines continuously. Does that make sense?
I agree with "oneniner," if you don't want to compact the soil for direct seeding of wheat, never use a truck in the field: or we unload at the end of the field, especially for beet with a self-propelled hopper. In Europe, beet harvesting is often carried out in wet conditions, as the trucks would get bogged down and splash dirt on the asphalt road as they leave the field. In our country, there's no such thing as a reprimand 1500$- and recidivism 3000$)for the soil and the addictive mud.
Hello Mitch, inconsistent with you: caterpillar tractor and twin, but trucks loaded in the field!!!! In France, no trucks in the fields: disrespect for compaction, and no mud on the asphalt (1500-3000$) About religion in our country in the previous video, I forgot to mention that in our country Catholic romain priests are forbidden to marry, just like you pastors. It's a big problem because we have sexist scandals by priests (violations etc...) that only discredits and repudiates religion catholic.

I live in Iceland and have never seen this here so it's awesome to see how you guy's do it.
Thanks for another great one. Food is not made at the grocery store. 😊
Always enjoy watching your vids you keep it cleanand keep her real.

Should do a factory tour and show us all how that sweet red river valley sugar is the sweetest in the industry👌
So cool!!
I grew up in East Grand Forks, until I was about 16. Had we not made the move to Washington, I’d be beet trucking right now
Always enjoy your videos,so nice to have you explain the process,your commentary is always positive,thank you from Illinois
Loved your background music. Great video. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!!
If he didn't liscence it, he may get a YT strike. They're really touchy about that.
Thank you for cleaning out the back. The wife and I just arrived and ready to jump into the tail end of prepile.
Another great video!
The automatic transmission sure makes harvest hauling easier
What a fantastic production. Your episodes are fascinating but this one was top notch. I will stop piling on praises as the pile raises. Thanks again for bringing us along👍👍👍
Great job Mitch my favorite time of year
Love the back ground music on the drone

Kool & the Gang 👍🥰🌟🥰 Love your videos!! God bless y'all! ♥️🙏👍♥️
Great snacking opportunities while waiting in line. We know how you like snacks.
Haha this is true!
Here in billings Montana western sugar has a tare dirt truck take the dirt away!
Hi Mitch, Jenny, and Oliver!!! Cool shots and drone footage of beet dumping and piles. Hope you packed a toothbrush to brush the dirt out of your teeth before kissing Jenny and Oliver. (Ha!Ha!)
Enjoyed the video. Thanks
Nothing was better than a garden carrot or radish you wipe the dirt off on your pant leg
Oh yes how about a salt shaker in the tomato patch, got to love fresh vegetables.
And make sure your chains are stuck on your end gate. Had a guy come through my piler that had his chain stuck so his gate couldn't open when he went to unload.

Just picked up a load of pellets from Crookston , hauling it to Duluth tomorrow.
Brings back memories, year’s ago I hauled for a farmer by Perley/Georgetown. Where do they then get hauled to, Grand Forks? Thank you!
I’m thinking Transystems either hauls them to Drayton, E. Grand Forks, or even Hillsboro. It all depends on what Crystal wants them to do!
Grafton pre pile goes to Hillsborough.
@@RJJ6129 Perley Georgetown piler goes to Moorhead plant I think.
I'm interested to know what all the pipes(fans?) are for at the 7:20 mark??
"Here's your dirt back" 😁
@@SirOpinesALot Indeed! 😂
Good morning
How come nobody up in the upper midwest uses the Ropa Tigers to harvest sugar beets?
Best video ever.. the music was just perfect and one of my favourite songs.
How do you get on with copyright?
Hey stakman, it’s a good jam for sure. Happy vibe. TH-cam Library has an extensive copyright selection.
Smokey and the Bandit reference - does that make Mitch another Jerry Reed?
Nice music
Where are you located in the valley....nearest town? Ron

Is this the grafton pile?
Indeed!
I see you have tire Boss on your truck, how do you like them, do they really help?
They do! They make the difference between getting stuck or not!

I would say yes because in one clip he has a sample ticket in his hand that he didn’t talk about. I assume Crystal Sugar tests those samples.
Hi all Please help me where to buy it?

Please educate yourself on farming.

Mitch, you're going to end up with a youtube copyright strike due to your use of Dobbie Brothers music. Just wanting to help!
Thanks for the heads up! Me and the boys go way back. I own a copyright for the song!
@@beetfarminmitch At your age there is no "way back", lol.
just watched a video on tater harvest. equally complicated equipment, not as nice as y'all's
