The Wonderful World of Sugar Beets

It’s that time of year where sugar beets are being harvested! I have yet to see a sugar beet field here in Utah (maybe I just need to look harder!) but they are everywhere in Idaho. My grandpa and uncle always grow them, and I have lots of memories of having to weed the fields… Fun times!
