How to store sugar beets all depends on the region where you are located. The winter months are an important time for sugar beet cooperatives.\u00a0 How you store sugar beets during the winter months can either benefit or subtract from a grower’s payment.\u00a0 Each growing area uses different techniques to maximize sugar retention and minimize losses to respiration.\u00a0 There are various strategies available that are selected based on the weather conditions of the storage locations.<\/p>\n

How to Store Sugar Beets
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Amalgamated Sugar<\/a> uses excavators to pull sugar beets off of the tops and sides of piles for reloading.\u00a0 This strategy keeps a core pile of sugar beets that is good while removing frozen and thawing beets. Every two weeks, aerial imagery is used to identify warm spots in piles.\u00a0 Amalgamated also uses ventilation piles to keep beet temperatures above freezing, but cold enough to reduce respiration rates.\u00a0 Amalgamated sugar tries to finish processing non-ventilated beets in February and ventilated beets before April to minimize storage losses when the weather gets warm.<\/p>\n

American Crystal<\/a> has colder weather conditions that allow the beet piles to freeze.\u00a0 When frozen, a beet stops respiring allowing for longer storability, as long as the beets do not thaw.\u00a0\u00a0 American Crystal uses a process of split pile storage methods that removes sugar beets from the center of the pile which allows natural temperatures to freeze the piles.\u00a0 Ventilation piles are also used to deep freeze beet piles for long-term storage.\u00a0 They also have insulated buildings where they can keep beets frozen into May.\u00a0 This method allows for 250 days of sugar processing and utilizing factory capacity.<\/p>\n

In Michigan, cooperatives us a combination of strategies for beet storage including the use of temperature probes to monitor beet pile temperatures.\u00a0 During aerial flights, infrared photos identify hot spots in piles which allows for quick removal.\u00a0 Processing of beets can run into mid-to-late March when ambient temperatures can fluctuate significantly.\u00a0 A new experimental concept of ventilated storage is a shed with a canvass roof. The ventilated storage sheds reduce extreme weather fluctuations while using ventilation to control pile temperatures.<\/p>\n

Each beet growing region uses different strategies based on the weather and needs of the cooperative for long-term beet storage.\u00a0 Storage conditions affect the amount of sugar that can be produced from a beet crop.\u00a0 Sugar cooperatives use management techniques to ensure they maximize factory capacity and reduce sugar losses.
