Anyone on here ever plant sugar beets? Thinking of planting them next year. Any good sources/types? Anything to watch? I never planted them before so I want to give them a go.

I get all my seed from Deer Creek Seed Co. I tried to buy Sugar beet last season but they were sold out. You have to order it very early in season. I'll be mixing it with my Turnip and Radish plots this summer.

Long time ago I read they were tough to grow, but never tried them.

I didn't buy either, they were sold out of both.

Ok. Ordered some sugar beet seed the other day from Deer Creek. Tonight I got the plot plowed up and I hope in a couple weeks to get it planted. I plowed about 1 acre.

I purchased Sugar Beet as well this year, but I won't be planting it until 2 week of August with my Turnip. My field corn will be planted in early May.

Got the Sugar Beets planted last Wed night. I ended up getting them seeded too heavy as I ran out of seed before I should have. Oh well. Finished out the plot with some Ladino Clover.
