Sugar beets improve soil and boost crop yields
Truman G. Palmer explains in National Magazine that sugar beets, as deep-rooted crops, require a 10 to 14 inch soil stir to establish a mellow seed bed. Weed eradication, autumn plowing, and fibrous root decay add humus and aeration, creating channels for moisture and nutrients, allowing subsequent crops to draw nutrients more deeply and multiplying soil output without more land.
