The Sugar Beet seed industry in the United States seeks large-scale operations with extensive irrigation regions in Colorado Montana Utah Idaho and the Rocky Mountain States.

Stecklings in Beet Seed Production and Harvest

Steckling production for commercial beet seed begins with early sowing of high quality seed and careful germination tests. Harvest starts before freezing weather, around September 20 in northern Colorado, finishing by October 10, with tops mowed and beets plowed. If leaves are thick, they can be siloed for feed and stored to prevent drying out.
