A familiar sight to me…mid-Michigan is a big sugar beet growing area also. Great shot!

[Nina Ganci]

I like the way you composed this photo, good colours and scene, with canal alongside the barn

Lovely shot with the blue sky and white clouds, the blue canal on the right, and that massive pile of sugar beets dwarfing the barn. Fav!

[Babs]

Wow what a lot of sugar beet.

Where I am from in England there is a sugar beet factory, and the smells of my school days are sweet!!

Lots to look at in this one, lovely colours and the road makes a nice leading line.

Mooie zonnige foto. Hier wordt ook druk geoogst.

Great capture. I like the heap of sugar beets, the bit of barn showing with the silo and of course the blue canal. awesome. fav.
I google the name of the plant and it has many different names. I like Polka Dot best and yes, it does flower. thanks so much, Ferry.

Great capture and that is a lot of sugar beets. It looks like a beautiful day there.

A lovely autumn scene. There used to be a sugar beet factory in York, with a lot of sugar beet being grown in the area. Fav!

Now that's a lot of beets. Research tells me that it takes 10 pounds of beets to yield 1.7 pounds of sugar. ( https://findanyanswer.com/how-many-pounds-of-sugar-beets-does-it-take-to-make-a-pound-of-sugar) So this pile, although huge, may not make as much sugar as I would have thought.

[Vesna]

Great capture.

[Speedwell]

Surprisingly bright colours for the time of year.
