When you see the piles on the fields, you know winter is coming
Potatoes and Sugar Beets are pretty much the last thing harvested here.Some Apples still too.
Annoying background music. I would rather listen to a narrator than to bad music.
I like the music.
@@eprofessio I had to mute it.
@@jenniehughes6927 :) I found it kind of soothing. I’m a weirdo.
Gosh, if only there were a button that do something about it.......
@@wstavis3135 There's a button on your mama.
What a sweet job.
Some careers just crystallize.
Really appreciate adding context to the vid
Here in Michigan, the Pioneer sugar plant is surrounded by all of the beet farms, so there is a short truck ride and no train ride for the beets.
I live 4 miles from a major plant here in the Michigan Thumb and Sugar Beets are a big deal. The piles in the fall at the staging areas are truly enormous. The smell is a bit unpleasant, but it is the smell of money for the region.
Are those farms able to keep the plant supplied with enough beets for year round sugar production?
@@markleggett9714 it's seasonal
Indeed, parts of this video showed Europe, not Michigan.
Same where I live, silver spoon factory a few miles away and the fields around for miles are the main beet areas, it's great because we have some bad roads and sometimes you get some spillage on the usual corners so you get some free beets, not a massive amount but enough for baking some pies to store for winter, is there anything better than a hot fruit pie in winter that you foraged for? I don't think so..... yummy ✌️😋🤘
While Idaho is Famous for Potatoes 🥔 It is also Number Two in producing Sugar Beets in America at 6,845,000 tons.
Great video work. 😊 Subtitles should be proofread. 😮 Music is icky. 😢
The music is fine, subtitles need work
The grammar is so bad it’s distracting…
Appreciate feedback! 🙌🙂
The music is annoying and distracting.
Such a great video. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video.👍👍
Just realise how long i have been followed you. Watching Ahao grow up, Dawang be fatten up and your baking skill level up over years has been one of my great joys.
We use to pull those sugar beets by hand and clean the leafs by hand, not hard work but when the winter came early our hands was frozen.
*I noticed the same. It does seem like there could be more streamlined processes to reduce handling.*
More sophisticated but basically the same method when I worked in a factory producing White Satin sugar in 1970.
I worked at the Speckles factory (aka: Holly Sugar) in the 90's.
The sheer magnitude is very impressive...
they stole someone else's video that showed a LOT more
Absolutely awe-inspiring!
We seemed to switch countries mid video. Blessings!
Without cheap natural gas from Russia even beet sugar making as well as toilet and other paper making cannot be possible.
Good morning 🌹🌹
they didn't say anything about the rest of the byproducts of sugar production. the pulp is also fed to cattle as a food additive. the molasses is used in baking , as an additive in cattle feed and desulphred for human consumption.
Also not mentioned is the bleaching that makes it go from dark tan to that white crystal color. Yes, we are eating bleach
This video was so "sweet".
And some of the Beet pulp is used in the growing process of Mushrooms.
one day you also become beet and keep taking samples after every meal (avoid sweet)
thanks for video
Shredded and then distilled and purified.
I counted 7 times the beets are handled before they get inside the factory. 7. That seems like a lot of unneeded logistics. A few steps could be eliminated I would imagine. Perhaps that's just the way it is. I am sure they have it worked out. Just from a layman's view it seems like too much handling from the field to the factory.
I’m pretty sure the farmers have it sorted out. They have the hardest job, get paid the least and have tons of advice from city slickers…..
@@danjackson2987 I agree, that is why I said they got it sorted out. But that's not to say there's not room for tweaking in ANY process. I was just thinking out loud brother.
Someone went through 6-sigma training! Each step also includes some washing so it's not a complete waste of effort. A lot of the multiple-handling allows assembling a stockpile of beets so they don't have to process the whole crop at one time. Also, the machinery to scalp, then dig, then pile, then bulk transport (etc) allows for less complicated, less expensive equipment at each step. There would be less Movement if each farm had its own sugar refinery, but the cost would go up and the overall efficiency would plummet. I work in the forest products industry and you see many of the same things (someone cuts and stacks logs, someone else hauls logs, possibly to a transload station where they're shipped again to a factory which maintains its own inventories) - and you *can* harvest wood 365 days a year, as opposed to one crop per year.
@@scottgigot2593 I am a green belt. Thanks for noticing!
I can't speak for European handling but the first part is removing tops this is done via a separate unit with pull type equipment but it's with the harvester on self propelled units carts are used to reduce compaction and to keep the harvester moving. The pile on the end of the field is used to help clean the beets because of all the moving in the maus/Tara felis. Then it is transported to the factory and piled in piles for storage until the factory can process them. The maus/ Tara felis is optional but this makes for cleaner beets and can be dumped directly into the factory
How it is form as a white
That bloody insane music....
❤arsamim,tayeah❤
So cool!
mute and watch, thanks me later
Sugar Cane accounts for 60% of sugar production while Beets account for only 30% of sugar production world-wide. The remainder is from other sources such a Palm. Bagged sugar in North American grocery stores is usually marked as "Pure Cane Sugar". If it isn't so marked, it may contain either or a mixture of cane and beet varieties. In any case, the sugar produced is identical and both cane and beet processing is identical.
Your thinking consumer sugars. Most companies that use sugar, such as candy companies. Use Beet sugar because it's cheaper. Same with corn syrup. That's where the other 20+% comes in.
@@danor6812 There is virtually no cost difference. If beet sugar was cheaper, we would see much more of it on the consumer side as well. The fact is that commercial use of beet sugar accounts for 90% of all beet sugar consumption, but is still only 30% of the overall sugar consumption. The candy industry uses HFCS almost exclusively (as does the soft drink industry). The film was a propaganda piece produced by a beet growers association.
Good to know, thanks!
As far as i know, the sugar beets only get transported by train to a factory if it is over a longer distance, but one thing is for sure, it is not taken off the train next to the sugar plant, then loaded on to a truck or tractor just to be driven next door to get dumped out again🥴 the train most likely dumped straight in to the designated storage for the factory/plant
The first part is in a German speaking country then it moves to America. Clearly a compilation.
When the LA Times was still printing,, we had railroad cars drop car sized rolls of paper directly into the warehouse then stored around with Tank Sized Fork Lifts.
see? sugar is a vegetable. so when your parents tell you to eat your vegetables you can happily eat your candy for dinner
OR... you could use honey. Bee to spoon in a few easy steps. No huge amounts of water waste, pollution and expense, just beautiful, diverse, low maintenance meadows that produce a product that is full of natural vitamins, minerals and sugars. The sugar industry is consumer driven, so why not try switching out some of your sugars for honey? It's great in teas and coffees, cakes, cereals and just about anywhere you would use sugar.
We don't produce enough honey. this is why we have sugar, HFCS, etc.
@@beebob1279 Was about to pop in to say, "If we did that, we'd all need to be apiarists."
My father had some bee hives 20 years ago. Lot of work and variation between years were huge.
I learned about this when I was a kid from sesame street.
You're a kid from Sesame Street?
How appetizing are the beets themselves prepared traditionally like red beets?
We need to be using these to convert to fuel..... Like Brazil does with Cane.
how are other chemicals removed? beet taste like ...beet...
Most of the sugar beets I know of are used to make de icer for winter roads.
Supposed to replace liquid salt.
Better than the ketchup video
Process is not full. How about refineing?
Radish can make many healthy dishes
What's the name of this factory
You know you can control the volume right
Most underrated poison! Way more addictive than anything else, even hard drugs!
And this video shows industrial food at its worse, with all destructive effects on humans and earth being silenced.
what is the actual process to de-water the slurry ? is it cooked out, or do they do something like low pressure evaporation type stuff ?
Heat evaporates it.
When I worked in a sugar cane -sugar mill, we concentrated sugar solution with multi-stage evaporators.
Assalomu alaykum

it's in which country ?
The sugar is made of beets?
How come some sugar is white and others shades of brown?
Depends primarily on the molasses content, a natural component of cane and beet sugar. The molasses of each differs noticeably in flavor, so most brown sugar or other things that use molasses use sugarcane molasses. The process of creating white sugar refines the molasses out of the sugar, which affects the flavor (and increases the purity of the sugar).
Wow, you can't beet that.
So glad youtube can't include the smell...lived near (5 miles) a sugar beet plant growing up. The smell is possibly worse than a sewer
"Beats" living near a paper factory :P Constant smell of farts
The smell of money to the community.
How does it compare to rotting turnips???
Those thing stink worse than my cats litter box.
😵
"Silage:" Chopped Alfalfa, fermented for cattle feed.
Grew up in Dairy Country.
The smells that make most City Folk gag make me homesick.
Pulp Mills are an exception.
@@TimeSurfer206 I recall cow manure. Can't say it was OK but you get used to it. Ya, pulp mills... nope
'Sugar beet' is plural. There's no need for the 's'
Of course they edited out the portion of the video where they spray the beet crops with pesticides✍️✍️✍️
Whoa!! I thought sugar was mined in Sugar mines with a pickaxe then ground up in a Sugar Mill.
Actually... That's salt.
In which country it's produced ?
This video shows Aarberg, Switzerland.
@@janamutlin1481 Thanks.
So, next step, where is the rum ? Oh yeah sorry, it's from cane sugar a not beets sugar
I was wondering what they did with the molasses to.
5:43 Is that 70F or 160?
6:45 Are the molasses discarded?
Molasses is sold as it's own product. Its used in all sorts of products including animal feed.
@@AIM54A Is it palatable enough to make rum from?
rum is fermented molasses.
Fahrenheit is still used in America but most of the world now uses degrees C. 70F is only room temperature so wouldn't involve much heating. I would guess that nothing is discarded - the soil which is washed off the beet can be recovered.
@@stanleyjones6705 Rum is a myth. It's always gone.
Yes terrible music I turned sound off
In the United States you use corn starch as it’s cheaper to sweeten soft drinks, in Australia we use sugar which taste better
That is incorrect. The sugar that is in food products in the States also comes mainly from sugar beets when the ingredients states "sugar". Corn starch is an addictive used in certain Food products as a thickening agent, not as a replacement for sugar.
The U.S. is the 3rd largest sugar beet producer behind France and Russia.
@@jamstagerable thank you for correcting me😀
@@rickthelian2215 You're welcome..I had to look that up btw. 😂
@@rickthelian2215 Learn something new every day! ✌🏾
Corn starch is tasteless, useless for sweetening anything.
Perhaps you meant High Fructose Corn Syrup? Yeah, we use a lot of that good ol' HFCS.
Also, for Rugged Individualism... _additive_ , not *addictive* . I think your spell checker may have thrown you a curve there.
Where’s the step showing the raw sugar being bleached to make it white?
Doesn't happen, the molasses is pulled out of the sugar via a centrifugal spinner. P.s. sugar is naturally white the molasses is what makes it brown.
That looks expensive!
Great manufacturering, shame it's all for something bad for us
The plural of beet is beet, NOT beets.
Good video but horrible music!
Those factories smell pretty bad.
A mish mash of different videos cobbled together to make a disjointed and poor whole. How the beets are transported from Aarburg, Switzerland to end up as refined sugar in Boise, Idaho should be explained.
It's a compilation. The Swiss beet is processed locally and that in Idaho is grown locally.
Dreadful subtitles and terrible music.
You should hire someone with a working knowledge of English grammar to write your scripts.
So they harvest the beats, then just dump them in a field for another special probably $400k machine to pick them up and put them in a transport truck.
What an absolutely stupid and pathetic waste of time and money vs just dumping them right in a truck first.
you have to time the delivery to the processing facility so it's not overrun with volume. the 2 steps you mention might be a long time apart.
@@lylestavast7652 yeah that does make sense.
I'm just wondering how many semi trailers that don't need much maintenance can be purchased for the price of that one large scooper and conveyor machine with so many working parts. That thing has to be Expensive
They don’t tell you almost all sugar beets are GMO. Treated by Monsanto.
Thank God you're here in the comments to let us know
I've been waiting for someone to mention their lack of knowledge about GMO and sugar.
The bee industry uses HFCS and also plain cane or beet sugars for feed. I keep away from HFCS because of it's true scientifically proven affects on honeybees.
However, when you take GMO's for sugar whether form beets or cane you are incorrect. The sugar aspect of the plant is not affected by the GMO used in the plant. That's a fact. The sugar is just sugar and nothing else.
@@markpalmer2451 Wendy is incorrect. The GMO of sugar plants doesn't have any affect on the sugar that's produced.
Bee Bob Sugar beets are “glyphosate tolerant”. In other words Round Up Ready Crop. They are labeled GMO. They have been altered to allow a farmer to spray without killing the plant. I don’t care what the end result for the sugar is. I do not want to eat a product, glyphosate, that has been proven to cause cancer. Nor would I eat your honey as you do not seem to care what is fed to your bees if you are feeding them sugar from sugar beet. Sugar from sugar beet cannot be labelled organic. We need to be very careful of what we are putting in our bodies and stick with what Mother Nature intended us to eat.
@@Wendy-yg8yu Fortunately, the sugar aspect of sugar is not GMO.
This is not how harvest goes in the US. And yes the music is very bad.
very shallow and poorly done.
This is all crap in the beginning. Stopped watching.
How are the Europeons going to do this without Russian gas?
By figuring something out.
Like, getting rid of Blyatimir Putain, and hoping an Adult HUMAN BEING takes the job.
Mind, Life seems to be doing it's thing on Blyatimir just fine.
seems very inefficient loading/unloading them so many times
