Subject: RE: Raising Sugar Beets on 30" rows?

Columbia Basin, Ephrata, WA

I'm pretty sure all of the growers here were on 22" rows for the failed attempt at beet production when I was in high school. The big sugar plant closed in '79, and I'm guessing back then they were also on 22" based on the little remaining old beet equipment that I've seen. The closing of the beet plant made a lot of good farmers go broke, both times.
