Sucrose 101

[The Sugar Association @MoreToSugar]

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. https://t.co/sx8Ks3utc2

[Foreign Ag Service @USDAForeignAg]

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.

[Trace Genomics @tracegenomics]

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

[Thomas Peters @BeetWeedControl]

Be safe out there.

And the #harvest22 has begun. #Minnesota #sugar

Crop report from Traill County

[Chad Michael @AgronomyChad]

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

@IowaWeeds @AgronGirl @NCWeedScience @mjanders1 Dawn, couldn’t recruit Owen?

[Thomas Peters @BeetWeedControl]

Trail County is a significant sugarbeet county. Certainly not good given our challenges with waterhemp. PA in our backyard complicates the playing field.

[Andrew Thostenson @Thostenson]

Not good.

Nice video featuring Dr Mike Metzger, VP of Ag at Minn-Dak.

[American Sugar Alliance @SugarAlliance]

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
