How American Farmers Grow 85,000 Tons Of Red Beets?

American red beet farming is an important part of the fresh and processed vegetable industry. In this farming video, we follow how American farmers grow and harvest 187 million pounds of red beets for supermarkets, restaurants and processing factories.

The journey begins with variety selection, soil preparation, direct seeding, irrigation, weed control and root development beneath the soil. When the beets reach the right size and quality, farmers harvest them by hand for the fresh market or use machines to lift large volumes from the field.

After harvest, red beets are washed, graded, sorted and packed for sale. Some are sold fresh, while others are processed into canned beets, pickled beets, sliced beets, cooked products, juice, purée and natural beet-based coloring powder.

Discover how American farmers turn underground red roots into valuable fresh and processed food products.
