R 3, said, "We h.i\e <i good cash
ciop in potatoes but the fellow
who i.uses giam piobably could
do betlei with beets ”
Chde Eshelman, Washington
Boio Rl. .ilso h.is a laige mim
bei of potatoes "We will not
buy any huge beet equipment
until we know moic about the
ci op” "Pei haps we would not
do so well on vields as beginn
eis,” he said The cash returns
didn’t appeal too gieat to Eshei
man eithei.
Seveial faimeis saw the beet
ci op as intei feung with present
fanning piactices Harold Ends
low, Manetta, spoke of silo fill
ing “Oui four silos take a good
pait of October to fill them ” he
said, “and that’s when they say
the beets should be haivested”
Esbenshade also mentioned
the lateness of haivest hamper
ing fall seeding and Kilheffer
said that with sweet coin jou
could have an 80 to 85 day
glowing season leaving time to
get the fall seeding done He le
pmted local sweet com con
tiacts call foi as much piofii
as sugai beets and no equip
ment investment “You can’t
get any ciop mtation with the
beets because you can t get
small giains planted in the
fall ’ he said
Kilheffer also questioned just
how well the beets will do • Our
soils aie good and adaptable and
we had an aveiage jield on oui’
test beet plots on a dij veai,
but we 311 st don’t know”
Esbenshade spoke of the
vauation of sugai content as
something to considei beside
the tonage you might get ‘ To
matoes you can let on the stalks
until they get led, but if you
don’t have the sugar content in
your beets, you just don’t have
it,” he said
Most farmers felt the har
vesting equipment was the bigg
est problem Kilheffer said ‘ I
wouldn’t have access to the har
vesting equipment as I don’t
know of anyone else in our
neighboihood to vvoik with If
the company would come in
with the hai vesting equipment,
I would be intei ested ”
But Kreider didn’t feel this
would be a pioblem “Theie is
good equipment available and
if we got the acreage in the
county, we could get the beets
hai vested ” he said
Howevei, he did point out
that friends in Maine, have been
dabbling in sugar beets for
quite some time, but the beets
have not taken hold “This
would indicate they think pota
toes are bettei than sugar
beets,” he said
The hand labor involved in
weeding the ciop was also men
tioned by seveial fanners.
Most figuied it would cost at
least $5O an acie and Kilheffer
said he wouldn’t want to build
housing for people to live in for
a week or two each year
One faimer mentioned tha6
the company representative had
not called on him as he had said
he would and that it was getting
too late now to decide to grow
beets this yeai
In all, though, the feeling
seemed to be that most every
one would like to see beets
giown m the county both to
see what they would do and to
reduce acres planted in other
ci ops
But as Mast summed up the
thinking, “We just have too
many othei competing ciops.
That’s the icason they are hav
ing tiouble getting beet acie-
age ”
