"Mind if I ask your general location? Just wondering which area has discontinued beet production."

I thought I would add to the sugar beet information. Idaho used to grown a lot of sugar beets in the 1960's and perhaps a little later than that. The processing plants moved out and potatoes and other crops were the replacements. Eastern Washington also grew a lot of beets until the processors moved out. I don't remember how long the processing plants operated but the beets were not harvested until late September/early October since harvesting had not started until after pheasant season closed. Good but difficult hunting in the beet fields.
