Greetings from Germany, we also grow a lot of sugar beets. In our case, the harvest is different; a self-propelled driver harvests the sugar beets in one step and then places them on the edge of the field.
You could make multi grain bread using the wheat/flour, beets/sugar, and the sunflower seeds. Baked beans, and corn for a side dish. Plus maybe humas as a dip for the bread.
Yeah,.....I remember those days. We would put things on various parts of the engine to heat things up. If you wanted something to heat up fast and/or be slightly grilled/toasted, we would put it on the exhaust manifold. Say Hi to Jenny and Oliver for us.
Haha very fun! I might have to try that. We have to leave 3%. Which isn’t the end of the world. Factories will have full stockpile capacity which is good.
The crown of the beet has the highest concentration of sugar impurities so it can increase your recoverable sugar % by scalping. We scalp them most of the time. Sometimes if the stand is tougher and the beets are irregularly sized we probably wouldn’t use them, but we like to if we can.
I grew up in Robbin. If I had a nickel for every load of beets I hauled, I might have 50 dollars. LOL. Love you guys. Cary
Me too.
I grew up in Kennedy Mn

Finding actual pork in Van Camps pork and beans is about as likely as winning the lottery.

When I was in the army we used to heat up our c-rations on the generator exhaust manifold. Worked really well.
Another great one, Mitch! As always, have a safe harvest! 🙏

Another great video! Always loved beet harvest!! Great memories
Warming up the beans. I have done the same thing in a 3,800 horsepower V16 locomotive. Half an hour does the trick sitting on the coolant boiler.
We won't miss a beet!!😉
great video, your sugar beat harvest is fascinating
Thank you!
Yall beet me to it!
Enjoyed it👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it John!
hello curtis im john westman Davids son in Stephen mn
I don’t know who Curtis is, but I’m sure he’s a great guy.
In Idaho during potato harvest we would bake potatoes on the exhaust manifold. Are you going to have to leave any beets in the ground this year?

@@beetfarminmitch just remember to turn the potatoes during the cook. Can't remember how long to cook them.
No pork? Are you living in a dream world?
Why do you scalp the tops . don't the flails do it good enough?

You still use the fmx/fm1000!?!
Haha yes! In our newer magnums we use the pro 1200, but back when we got these tractors we stuck with the Trimble.
@@beetfarminmitch we still use 4 fmx. And we were just complaining about trimming everything the other day and then I saw you are trimming too 😂
done with taters, so ramp up the content
