A Day in the Spray Truck: Sugar Beets and Pinto Beans

Hop in the spray truck with me today as we explore some unique crop types, tend to our plants, and of course, have a whole lot of fun while doing it!
-
We're a sugar beet farmin’ family in the Red River Valley of North Dakota!
Our farm specializes in growing sugar beets, hard red spring wheat, sunflowers, corn, soybeans, and various types of dry edible beans. The legacy currently consists of my dad, my uncle, my two older brothers, and I (Beet Farmin Mitch).
I am a 6th generation family farmer recently graduating with college degrees in both Agricultural Economics and Crop and Weed Sciences. Enjoy as I showcase our operations everyday work, grow as a young farmer, be a goofball, and walk out the most important thing to me. My love for King Jesus!
My hope is that you may be entertained and spurred on to grow in your passion and knowledge for all things agriculture!
Jak se máš! (Czech for "How are you?")

Howdy beet farmin Mitch

[@lighthousecommodities]

Go Mitch!

[@brucetrue]

Nice content! My dad grew beets in Idaho, but I left farming. I have a question: has mechanical cultivation or hand weeding/hoeing been completely displaced by chemical weed control? I never see any farm tuber cultivate weeds mechanically, but my dad did that routinely. Times change.

[@samrugtiv3839]

Good deal mitch get to the farmers store for some slim Jim's and Bismarcks.

[@alechaas2584]

Hills in the red river valley 😂😂 that’s funny. I seen your spraying manzate, we were spraying that as well but it was the powder kind in a bag, had nothing but troubles with it inside the sprayer. Didn’t know they had a liquid form of that!

[@farmboy5622]

Hi Jenny!!! It is probably a full time job keepin' Mitch out of trouble?!?!

[@BeetFarminJenny]

More like a full time job keeping him alive! Haha Farming accidents are always a worry of mine but I’m fortunate that he is so cautious in the field.

[@sammyvh11]

God bless our farmers

[@JeremeyHowlett]

Does the engine of the truck need to stay on while your waiting?

[@beetfarminmitch]

Doesn’t need to stay on per-say, I drive forward so frequently and I need to keep the CB radio on in the truck to keep in communication. The little amount of diesel burned in the gap times isn’t enough to justify shutting it off.

[@JeremeyHowlett]

@@beetfarminmitch ok cool, love the videos, keep up the good work.

[@Michael-fd8ob]

Are the one helps keep the food rolling n our country thanks very much. Salt and pepper on mine.

[@matthewdavis9979]

Salt is a must on watermelon and salt and pepper on cantaloupe or musk melon

[@brianrutherford3681]

crops look great

[@robbj938]

What color is the seed on the new variety that you planted?

[@beetfarminmitch]

Crystal Beet Seed CR+ is purple for ACSC growers

[@bladewiper]

I agree, not much beats an early summer morning in the country. Still cool, quite, calm. Gives a person time to contemplate life.

[@OldFart2023]

or in Mitch's case.....not much "BEETS" an early summer morning in the country. LOL

[@markschenher4559]

I like the plug for beet grown sugar

[@skips1774]

Yes to salt on the melon

[@davidcooper3464]

Mitch , always enjoy your videos!

[@davidc1859]

Always put salt on watermelon.

[@r.scotthill3082]

Maybe sometime you can show us some of the actual fungi growing on the plants. What exactly does an economic developer do?

[@dairyfarmmidwest1615]

No salt on watermelon for me either

[@salahbousmaha2614]

Good job man. Can I work with you as a volunteer? I want to get experience in the field of agriculture

[@tapertim]

My son in law works for case in sprayer division they live by grand forks so when you need one worked on he’s the one you call and he sends somebody out I was going to get to run one in the 4th of July parade but I couldn’t get away and get up there

[@steverobertson4783]

I salt my watermelon. Great video!! Always interesting to watch. Farming makes tight knit families. Glad you two have a start as a farm based family.

[@BRPFan]

You have to have salt on Watermelon! It’s a must! Great video! As a young kid my siblings and I used to hoe beets for farmers back when sugar beets were grown here in South Central Manitoba.

[@viper100290]
