Sugar beet harvesting on 3 December at Van Leeuwen farm in Biddinghuizen. The beets are still fresh green on the deep-plowed soil. Because of the risk of frost, they went out of the ground anyway. It turned out to be a good move in hindsight. Photo: N. van der Boom
The heavy clay soil has now become light sandy soil. Despite the fact that it is December, the beets come out beautifully clean and pointed. This farmer still swears by the two-phase system. Photo: N. van der Boom
