Stoutenburg Farms 2010 Sugar Beet Harvest.wmv

Clint and Al Stoutenburg from Sandusky, Michigan, went to 20 inch row width this year. Harvesters, toppers, tractors, etc. all had to be set up for the change from 28 inch rows. Harvest went smooth this year in spite of all the change. Auto steer technology with RTK accuracy played a crucial role in making this possible. This video really shows how "tight" these rows can be! Clint could not have picked a better year to make the switch. These narrow row beets really put out the tons!

how long ago would it have taken to harvest the sugar beets 15-20 years ago compared to now?
