But typically the research people like through NDSU and the university research studies have said the best thing to do is to top them and leave them in the ground and they kind of break down easier in the soil.
Some people like disc them up and stuff and then they're on top and then they kind of turn into like a little...
baseball glove or something they kind of turn into leather and so that can be hard probably don't break down really well yeah so it seems like topping them and leaving them in the ground is the best if you have to leave you know yeah when you said harvest you don't have to pull them out of the ground you can still leave them in okay that makes more sense yep so if we have to leave like one percent say yep because it's just too much for our factories to process it's beyond you know the amount that can be done then you would just top them and leave that part and then
Yep.
And some years if it's wet, like I was planting soybeans after a sugar beet field and we had to leave some there.
And like the seed disc for kind of getting plugged up a little bit.

What does it taste like?
Like a sweet vegetable.
There's a couple, you know, old school cookbooks that got assembled in the Red River Valley a while ago, years ago.
And I found a couple recipes that call for like sliced sugar beet in them.
But it's not exactly something you'd go to the grocery store and buy off the shelf.
Yeah.
Slice it up and eat it.
Yep.
So you either have to own or rent shares to be in the co-op.
