Sugar Beets Considered Good Crop for Dairymen
The sugar beet is an important lush crop, according to University of Wisconsin. Years of extensive production prove that the crop blends in well with dairy farming, makes good use of farm manure and leaves the soil loose and friable. Beets seldom are damaged by either late spring or early fall frosts. There are few crops that leave the soil in as good condition. The tops are very valuable feed for cattle and sheep. They may be pastured, partially cured and put into trench silos, or used as silage.
