    -
    We're a sugar beet farmin’ family in the Red River Valley of North Dakota!
    Our farm specializes in growing sugar beets, hard red spring wheat, sunflowers, corn, soybeans, and various types of dry edible beans. The legacy currently consists of my dad, my uncle, my two older brothers, and I (Beet Farmin Mitch).
    I am a 6th generation family farmer recently graduating with college degrees in both Agricultural Economics and Crop and Weed Sciences. Enjoy as I showcase our operations everyday work, grow as a young farmer, be a goofball, and walk out the most important thing to me. My love for King Jesus!
    My hope is that you may be entertained and spurred on to grow in your passion and knowledge for all things agriculture!

    I use a headlight at the last two manufacturing jobs I've had, battery died on a cheap one, I bought a Hart one, and it's rechargeable, and lasts all day on a charge. Thank you for the long hours of work you do to help people have sugar! Nice drone footage, nice video, have a good week!

    I just finished driving trucks for my first beet harvest, and I had a blast. I was delivering to the East Grand Forks factory and it was definitely something I’ll never forget!

    Hello!!! Another great video. I'm curious how you keep up with the "names" of all the different fields. How do you know which beet, wheat, pinto, etc.... field to go to? Keep up the great work!!

    You think running 2 12 row harvesters is slow, try a 1 row! That's what I first worked with.

    • @beetfarminmitch
      @beetfarminmitch  8 месяцев назад

      I can only imagine! It was 4 row sized when my dad started beets. 4 row topper on our open cab 1650 Oliver and a 4 row lifter with no tank.

    Question for sugar beet farmers.....are you required to buy/own/lease one share of beet stock to grow one acre of beets? Or...? TIA

  • @randyronny7735
    @randyronny7735 9 месяцев назад +1

    Back in the old days it was easy to determine how many trucks each farmer could use because they were pretty much the same size. Does AC still tell farmers how may trucks they may use or do they tell the farmers how many total tons they trucks may hold and then lets the farmer decide on how many and the types of trucks to use?

    • @beetfarminmitch
      @beetfarminmitch  8 месяцев назад

      There is a truck haul team that decides based on acres and shift hours. They tell the farmers how many trucks they can run.

    • @randyronny7735
      @randyronny7735 8 месяцев назад

      @@beetfarminmitch Thank you for responding. Is it the number of trucks or the number of tons that can be decided by how many trucks the farmer wants to use? I was wondering if a dual-axel truck counts the same as a triple axel-semi-trailer?

      This comment made my day and thank you!!! I try to share my faith in Christ often but not overdo it haha. He is my all In all though.
      Anyway, I’ve been going through a “Chronological Bible in a Year Plan” with my home church. Today was Luke 14 and 15. Luke 15 with the Prodigal son always gets me!

    • @BK-fy2xi
      @BK-fy2xi 8 месяцев назад

      The prodigal son always gets me also. I’ve been reading Isaiah lately. Just got done with ch 38. Hezekiah has a fatal illness and pleads to God for help. God in turn heals Hezekiah and adds 15 yrs to his life…it’s amazing what can happen when we turn our attention to God!
