A field with beets

I know I`ve done a harvest but I also like tho share this pic. of beets. It`s very usually that the harvest of the product are done by firms hire by the farmers. You need big machinery ( combine / harvester ) to do the job . So the harvest can been done in for sometimes a month or more . The capacity of the factory is an other reason, the condition of the ground and the percent of sugar in the beets also.
And , if there is no contract ,you have to have a buyer for a good price

So interesting. I grow beets in my home garden but I have never seen a field like this. Thanks for sharing!

Oh, look at these! I've never seen beets grown as a crop like this! Look at those green tops, too-- I will get my borscht recipe and be right back!

I like the light on the leaves and endless "sea" look of the field.

[Dawn Irwin]

It looks very lush! Nicely composed too.
The car I posted is someone's idea of art, it is actually in a building that used to be our public museum.

Amazing crop! Is this grown in clay also?

Lovely shot of the field - it does look like a sea of plants! Beet farming sounds like quite a complicated business!

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot of this never-ending field of beets. Thank you for the explaination too.

[Netkonnexion]

Wow... wonderful texture to this shot and nice use of negative space. Cool work.

[Hazel]

Nice texture in the shot and there are obviously many factors to be considered when managing the harvest - not simple!

[Ian Fisher]

A lovely view - looks like a good crop! We used to have a sugar beet processing factory in York, and quite a lot of farmers around here used to grow beet.

[Jennifer C]

love your explanation of the harvesting process and your capture as well!

[Taephy]

my, that is really large scale.

[Carolyn White]

I love your perspective! I've never seen a beet field. It's beautiful! :0)

Borscht is an Eastern European soup made with broth and beets. You can eat it either hot or cold, and I like it hot. It reminds me of fall and harvest. When I saw this picture of the beet field, I thought of that soup.
