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...

About 30% of his growers use the reduced tillage practices. The trials involve multiple variables including irrigation m...

The science of storage has been studied extensively by Kelly Thomas, plant physiologist/ genetics with American Crystal. Through years of study, Thomas has documented...
