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
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.
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.

The car I posted is someone's idea of art, it is actually in a building that used to be our public museum.
