Fullmer said there are more yellow fields this year than in the past few years, indicating that the beets are making sugar. Sugar content has been an issue recently, but Fullmer predicts better sugar this harvest. The root samples...

I had seen an advertisement of homesteads there in an eastern paper. As my ticket allowed for stopovers, when I...
