Sugarbeet growers Tim and Adam Cayko of the Sugar Valley district conduct strip trials each year to determine which variety of beet seed works best in their heavy soils. In addition to cooperating with Sidney Sugars, Caykos do their own real world testing, some through strip trials. "The best fields are the ones with the least amount of work, where the seeds come up well and the ground doesn't crust," Tim said. "The digging is more weather dependent." With two passes of each seed, side by side i...
Strip tillage, the method where only the narrow strip of land to be planted is actually tilled, is in the trial stages. With only a 4 to 6” strip disturbed, the process leaves a lot of residue on the ground, helping to reduce inputs and erosion from wind and water. Sidney Sugars agriculturalist James Johnson for the Savage, Pleasant View, and Powder River areas, has more growers in his area doing no till and strip till. About 30% of his growers use the reduced tillage practices. The trials involve multiple variables including irrigation m...

The canisters are designed to accommodate “under the sink” garbage and small branches, etc. not truckloads of trash. Lately, the sit...
It's a bit unusual to see a Sno Cat driving on top of a huge pile of sugar beets, but Richard Albin was doing just that last week at the Sugar Valley station, Fairview. Now that beet harvest is complete, the goal at Sidney Sugars is to keep those beets at their optimum quality until all the processing is done, about mid-February. The science of storage has been studied extensively by Kelly Thomas, plant physiologist/ genetics with American Crystal. Through years of study, Thomas has documented...
