Farm4Profit Podcast · Beet Farmin’ Mitch: Sixth-Generation Sugar Beet Farmer · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

Yeah, so we can talk about sugar beet agronomy a little bit.

Let's, okay, let's do this.

Let's start.

Okay, can I say one thing about like my family?

Yeah, sure.

Absolutely.

Make sure I speak well of them.

You know what I'm saying?

So we'll just kind of slip this part back in there.

But yeah, so I farm with my family up in the Red River Valley.

My dad, my uncle, my two older brothers, we all get along well and it's fun to be able to make videos on it.

They make their way in here and there and very supportive of that.

So glad to be able to represent them here today too.

So 20 to 22 inches, based on research that universities have completed, they think that's the most efficient and effective place for sugar beets to be spaced.

Yep.

Everybody does it a little differently, but pretty common in our neighborhood is like 60,000 seeds per acre.

So a 22 inch row spacing, seed spacings in the row is like 4.6, 4.7, something like that.

Yeah, great question.

So we have to really focus on using accurate planters, right?

So a lot of the planters you see in our neighborhoods, either John Deere or Monosem, those planters that can really handle small seed well.
