Sugar beets are a root crop that grows underground and typically where the weather is cooler. On the other hand, sugar cane is a tropical grass and grows in warmer climates in the tropical belt. Both produce the same sugar that ends up in your pantry. bit.ly/3yvjlR1

The largest region in the U.S. for sugar beet production is in the Red River Valley. Minnesota producers grew more than 12 million tons of sugar beets in 2021, a third of the U.S.’s total harvest! #MNAgAttachéTour
Who knew.
Ever wonder where the smell of soil comes from? Or why it’s more noticeable after rain? Streptomyces (this week’s #MicrobeMonday) create a compound called geosmin, which makes that smell! When there are more Streptomyces in the soil, the smell is more prevalent🚜 #FarmFactFriday

Beets are starting to look nice. Couple more shots of rain and we will be looking good. Nice roots and long tails looking for water. #CrystalSugarCo #agriculture #sugarbeets #HongFarms

We are looking forward to welcoming new and returning students for the start of NDSU classes next week! #NDSUtrue #welcomeback
Trail County is a significant sugarbeet county. Certainly not good given our challenges with waterhemp. PA in our backyard complicates the playing field.
Nice video featuring Dr Mike Metzger, VP of Ag at Minn-Dak.
Mike Metzger is the Vice President of Agriculture and Research at the grower-owned @MDFCoop in North Dakota. Mike and his team work to give Minn-Dak’s sugarbeet farmers the tools they need to grow the best possible crop. #SugarSustainably

I needed to determine weed species infesting soils at the new NDSU track and field complex. 70% common lambsquarters, 20% redroot pigweed, 5% kochia, 5% other (no waterhemp or Palmer amaranth)
