I am in S MI. We grew beets from mid 70's to 1981. By mid 70's Findlay Ohio was closed. Hauled them to Fremont Ohio. I made 3 trips a day. As MarkB said there was no beets in 1980. Alot of growers sold their beet equipment for scrape. We hung onto ours and grew again in 1981. Then sold our equipment and got into other crops. When Fremont closed beets were piled in Blissfield and trucked up north in big gravel trains with high sides. Blissfield had a sugar factory. The factory opened in 1905 and closed 1954. Back then Grandpa had a one row lifter which lifted the beet out of the ground. Then the beets were hand topped with a beet knife. Then forked into the wagon with a beet fork. Today beets are harvested with a six row self propelled machine.
