Excellent work! I do mostly wheat harvest videos, so this is a nice change of pace to see. I lived in Montana for awhile, and miss the smell of sugar beet refining sometimes.

This is great! I grew up "a beet brat..." lol... Thanks for sharing!! I'll be sharing it with my father, David Melin. He was the Agricultural Manager of the Holly Sugar plant in Sidney for many years, later transferred to Worland, WY, and then to Brawley, CA. He is now retired and living back in Worland.

Cool! I remember David when he was here in Sidney, quite an RC plane hobbyist as I recall.

[@julielanderos1614]

bdmcginnis Oh yes, he certainly is!! His passion and talent for flying them is amazing... He has had so much fun with them, traveled all over to "fun flys" and met so many good people. I'm glad he's got such a great hobby to keep him happy in his retirement! :)

Great video! A joy to watch.

How long do they store beets outdoors ?

[@bdmcginnis]

Generally about 4 to 5 months. They start slicing immediately, so by the time the 4th or 5th month comes around there isn't much left in any of the piles.
