In this Farm4Fun episode, the crew is joined by North Dakota farmer and social media creator Beet Farmin' Mitch, along with Arts Way's Jim Cronk, for a deep dive into the world of sugar beet production. Mitch shares the story of his family's six-generation farming operation in the Red River Valley, where they grow sugar beets, wheat, corn, soybeans, sunflowers, and edible beans. He explains how sugar beets are planted, managed, harvested, stored, and ultimately processed into the table sugar Americans use every day. The conversation covers: The history of Mitch's family farm dating back to an 1800s wagon train from Iowa to North Dakota What makes sugar beets different from traditional row crops How sugar beet seed is produced and planted Disease, insect, and fertility management in sugar beet production The unique harvest process involving defoliators, lifters, and pilers Why sugar beet harvest becomes a 24-hour operation How sugar beets are stored through North Dakota winters The role of American Crystal Sugar Cooperative Sugar beet pricing, quotas, and marketing Why sugar policy matters to American farmers The difference between beet sugar and cane sugar The challenges facing today's sugar industry Social media, agriculture advocacy, and telling agriculture's story Listeners will also hear about the specialized equipment used during harvest, including Arts Way sugar beet harvesters and defoliators, along with some entertaining stories about sugar beet crews, harvest culture, and life in the Red River Valley. Whether you're a farmer, consumer, or simply curious about where sugar comes from, this episode delivers a fun and educational look at one of agriculture's most misunderstood crops. Most importantly, Mitch shares how faith, family, and farming continue to guide both his operation and his mission to educate consumers about modern agriculture. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

Send us Fan MailDr. Clair Thunes, PhD is an equine nutritionist and the founder of Clarity Equine Nutrition®, bringing over 35 years of hands-on experience as a horse owner to her practice. She earned her BSc (Hons) in Animal Science from Edinburgh University, her MS in Animal Science from the University of California, Davis, and her PhD in Nutrition from UC Davis in 2005. Through her consultancy, Dr. Thunes develops individualized feeding programs for a diverse range of horses — from high-performance athletes and lactating mares to seniors and horses managing complex conditions such as insulin resistance, PPID, and muscle myopathies — while also collaborating with veterinary practices and advising international feed and supplement companies. A dynamic public speaker and educator, she draws on her upbringing in England riding disciplines ranging from eventing and dressage to polo and fox hunting, making her as relatable in the saddle as she is authoritative in the lab. Her guiding philosophy — that nutrition is the foundation of a horse's overall well-being — informs every aspect of her work with individual owners, breeding farms, and Olympic-level competitors alike.Listen to the Scoop & Scale Podcast here: https://scoopandscale.com/Dr. Clair Thunes nutrition consulting: https://clarityequine.com Sonja Ochadlik — Show Jumper & Equestrian EntrepreneurSonja Ochadlik is a show jumping rider originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, who is now based in Ireland. Her transatlantic journey — from the American Southwest to the heart of Irish equestrian country — gives her a distinctive perspective that bridges two very different horse sport cultures. She runs Stonehall Sporthorses, a business specializing in producing young horses and sourcing and selling top-quality horses and ponies. She operates the business alongside her husband Johnathon, with a focus on equine welfare and longevity in sport. Beyond riding and trading, Sonja has become a vocal voice in the broader conversation about the future of show jumping. She is passionate about the training and welfare of horses and working towards making the sport of show jumping more inclusive. She has written for The Plaid Horse magazine on topics such as innovations in American show jumping, including updates to U.S. Pony Jumpers and proposed changes to Young Jumpers, with an emphasis on correct, safe, and welfare-driven development of both young riders and young horses.

U.S. sugar beet farmers are facing dire times financially because of the unfair trading practices and out-of-date tier two tariff rate.
Gartenarbeit ist oft Schwerstarbeit. Viele spüren das im Rücken oder in den Gelenken. Das Konzept des orthopädischen Gärtnerns setzt dort an. Facharzt Dr. Arne-Björn Jäger über typische Fehler beim Arbeiten im Garten.
Nacktschnecken sind wahrscheinlich der größte Gegner aller Hobbygärtnerinnen und Hobbygärtner. Es gibt eine ganze Reihe von Tipps, mit denen der Bestand mehr oder weniger gut reguliert werden kann. Sehr bekannt sind die Bierfallen. Eine Schale wird in den Boden gesetzt und mit Bier gefüllt. Der Geruch lockt die Schnecken an, sie kriechen in die Bierfalle und ertrinken. Leider locken wir mit diesen Fallen auch Schnecken an, die weiter entfernt unterwegs sind und so erst in unseren Garten gelockt werden. Keine gute Idee also. Besonders gefährdete Pflanzen können mit einer Barriere aus Kaffeesatz, Sägemehl oder Asche geschützt werden. Diese Hilfsmittel werden im Kreis um die Pflanzen verteilt. Schnecken sollen nicht gerne über diese feinkrümeligen Strukturen kriechen. Diese Barrieren funktionieren – wenn überhaupt - aber nur bis zum nächsten heftigen Regenschauer. Mit einer speziellen Schneckenpaste bestrichene Kübelränder sollen Nacktschnecken den Weg auf den Kübel versperren. Die Paste enthält einen Duftstoff, den Schnecken nicht mögen und deshalb überqueren sie den bestrichenen Bereich nicht. Rund ums Gartenbeet ist die Paste nicht anwendbar, es sei denn, die Beete sind mit mehreren Zentimeter hohen Wänden aus Holz oder Kunststoff umschlossen. Dann könnte auch diese "Umzäunung" bestrichen werden. Wer diesen Aufwand nicht scheut, kann aber auch gleich zu einem Schneckenzaun aus Metall oder Kunststoff greifen. Diese Zäune gibt es im Internet oder Fachhandel zu kaufen.In der neuen Folge von "Im Grünen Bereich" gibt es noch weitere Tipps zur Abwehr von Schnecken. Der Schneckenzaun ist aber am effektivsten. Auch durch unser eigenes Verhalten im Garten können wir die Plage eindämmen. Dazu zählt, dass nicht abends gegossen wird, denn die Schnecken brauchen einen feuchten Untergrund, um sich fortbewegen zu können. Die eigentliche Schneckenabwehr beginnt schon im Spätherbst und Winter des Vorjahres. Nacktschnecken legen nämlich pro Tier bis zu 400 Eier. Diese Gelege sollten wir aufspüren und die Eier den Vögeln als Futter anbieten. Schnecken legen ihre Eier gerne unter losen Gehwegplatten oder unter Pflanzkübeln ab. Da im Herbst einfach nachsehen. Beliebt sind zudem kleine Höhlen im Beet, die sich beim Umgraben ergeben haben. Deshalb die Beete im Herbst regelmäßig durchhacken.Weitere Infos zum Thema: Was hilft gegen Nacktschnecken im Garten?https://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/garten/schaedlinge/Was-hilft-gegen-Nacktschnecken-im-Garten,schneckenplage101.htmlIm Herbst Schneckeneier im Garten entfernenhttps://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/garten/Im-Herbst-Schneckeneier-im-Garten-entfernen,nacktschnecken110.htmlHabt Ihr Anregungen, Fragen oder Tipps?

260611PC Mit Stumpf und StilMensch Mahler am 11.06.2026Der Schwabe sagt: Ich kauf mir einmal eine gute Jacke als fünfmal eine billige. Das rechnet sich und ist nachhaltig. Heute habe wieder mal eine Lektion im Garten gelernt: Einmal richtig und gründlich als fünfmal halbherzig. Ich habe über Stumpf und Stiel nachgedacht. Ich habe jetzt ein paarmal den Klee oberflächlich ausgerissen. Er kommt zurück. Was hast Du gegen Klee? Der ist doch schön, sagt meine Frau. Ja, aber wenn ich Rasen will, erstickt der Klee alles. Also habe ich heute in 3 Stunden Arbeit die Wurzeln des Klees ausgegraben. Ich habe die Erde gelockert – gelüftet heißt das in der Fachsprache – und Reparatur – Rasensamen gesät. Nachdem alles, was trocken und kaputt war, herausgearbeitet worden war. Mit Stumpf und Stiel eben, radikal, Latein-Leistungskurs: Radix – die Wurzel. Bei der Gartenarbeit kann ich fast so gut meditieren wie auf dem Fahrrad. Das Vierfache Ackerfeld ging mir durch den Kopf. Ein Gleichnis, in dem Jesus erzählt, dass der Boden vorbreitet sein muss, bereit die Saat aufzunehmen, wenn es etwas werden soll mit dem Wachstum. Ein Konfliktgespräch zum Beispiel will gut vorbereitet sein, sachlich, intellektuell und gefühlsmäßig. Sonst geht es in die Hose und zurück bleibt verbrannte Erde.Eine Wunde will erst radikal beseitigt werden, auch wenn es weh tut. Einfach ein Pflaster drüber kleben – das kann man lassen. Das gilt für den Körper und für die Seele. All das ging mir durch den Kopf beim Gärtnern. Jetzt muss die Saat nur noch aufgehen – in meinem Garten und in Kopf und Herz. Säen – das macht man immer auf Hoffnung hin. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Dahlien gehören mit zu den beliebtesten Gartenpflanzen. Es gibt sie mit ganz unterschiedlichen Blütenformen und auch bei den Farben ist die Auswahl groß. Bei großblütigen Dahlien sollte gleich eine Stütze mit eingeplant werden, damit die Triebe unter der Last der großen Blüten (25 Zentimeter und mehr) nicht abbrechen. Ursprünglich stammen sie aus Mexico und sind deshalb bei uns nicht winterhart. Nach den Eisheiligen können die Knollen nun aber in die Beete gesetzt werden. Ein sonniger und windgeschützter Standort ist ideal. Das Pflanzloch sollte 5 bis 10 Zentimeter tief und so groß sein, dass die Knolle hineinpasst, ohne das etwas abbricht. Eine Handvoll Kompost erleichtert den Start. Dahlien sind bei Schnecken sehr beliebt, deshalb um ein Dahlienbeet einen Schneckenzaun ziehen. Bei Einzelpflanzen reicht auch ein Schneckenkragen. Wenn sich die Dahlien in einigen Wochen gut entwickelt haben, müssen sie verzogen werden. Das bedeutet, dass nur die drei kräftigsten Triebe stehengelassen werden. So kann die Pflanze ihre ganze Kraft in die verbliebenen Triebe stecken. Da die Dahlien aus Mexico stammen, sind sie an Trockenheit und große Hitze gewöhnt, müssen also nicht übermäßig gegossen werden. Erst, wenn die Blätter schlappen, wieder zur Gießkanne greifen. Von Mitte September an weniger gießen, damit die Knollen nicht zu feucht ins Winterquartier ziehen. Nach dem ersten Frost müssen die Dahlien ausgegraben werden. Der richtige Zeitpunkt ist daran zu erkennen, dass die Laubblätter matschig an der Pflanze herunterhängen. https://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/garten/zierpflanzen/Dahlien-ueberwintern-und-Knollen-richtig-einlagern,dahlien105.html Extratipp: Befestigen Sie ein Schild an der Knolle mit Angaben zur Blütenform und -farbe.

This is a fleshy, dark green perennial which grows in large clumps in coastal habitats such as shingle, salt-marsh margins, old sea walls and grasslands.
Die Eisheiligen sind vorbei und jetzt können langsam auch die kälteempfindlichen Gemüsearten ins Beet oder in den Kübel auf den Balkon. Dazu zählen unter anderem: 1. Tomaten: Bei vorgezogenen Tomaten sollten vor dem Einpflanzen die unteren Blätter entfernt werden, damit die Tomaten etwas tiefer in das Beet gesetzt werden können. So bilden sich viele weitere Wurzeln, die die Aufnahme von Wasser und Nährstoffen verbessern. Wichtig ist, dass die Tomaten sonnig stehen und auch gleich eine Portion Kompost mit in das Pflanzloch bekommen. Ein Dach über den Tomaten ist auch sinnvoll, damit sie vom Regen möglichst verschont bleiben.2. Zucchini: Jetzt können vorgezogene Jungpflanzen ins Beet kommen, Ende Mai/Anfang Juni, wenn es noch wärmer ist, können Zucchini aber auch noch ausgesät werden. Die Jungpflanzen kommen in ein nährstoffreiches Beet, das natürlich sehr sonnig liegen sollte. Samen werden 2 Zentimeter tief in den Boden gebracht. Regelmäßig wässern und düngen, dann liefern Zucchini reichlich Früchte. 3. Bohnen: Auch für Bohnen ist jetzt genau die richtige Zeit, um sie auszusäen. Vorher aber für Stangenbohnen eine stabile Rankhilfe aufstellen.4. Chili und Paprika: Chili und Paprika sind absolute Sonnenkinder und brauchen in unseren relativ kurzen Sommern jeden wärmenden Sonnenstrahl. Die Erde vor dem Pflanzen lockern und auch etwas düngen. Paprika und Chili können auch etwas tiefer gesetzt werden, dann bilden sie ebenfalls zusätzliche Wurzeln. ... und das könnt Ihr jetzt auch noch machen:Mit Ziergräsern Struktur im Garten schaffen.https://www.ardsounds.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:59431f30863df3c4/Weitere Infos zum Thema:Gartenzeit im Maihttps://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/rasch_durch_den_garten/rasch-durch-den-garten-gartenzeit-im-mai,rasch-178.htmlAussaat-Kalender: Regionales Gemüse im Freiland säenhttps://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/garten/nutzpflanzen/Aussaat-Kalender-Regionales-Gemuese-im-Freiland-saeen,saisonkalender104.htmlGemüse pflanzen: Die wichtigsten Tipps für den Anbauhttps://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/garten/nutzpflanzen/Gemuese-pflanzen-Die-wichtigsten-Tipps-fuer-Anbau,gemuese712.htmlGemüse und Blumen nach den Eisheiligen ins Freiland pflanzenhttps://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/rasch_durch_den_garten/Gemuese-nach-Eisheiligen-ins-Freiland-pflanzen,gartenkalender108.htmlNutzgarten: Gemüse, Obst und Kräuter anbauenhttps://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/garten/nutzpflanzenHabt Ihr Anregungen, Fragen oder Tipps?

For those who like its earthy flavor, the humble beet can do a lot for a salad or a soup. But could it help end slavery? In the 1800s, one woman believed it could—and she wasn't just any old woman. This episode, meet Lydia Maria Child, who wrote the first children's periodical magazine, the first New England historical novel, and one of America's first successful self-help books—all before she turned thirty, in an era where women were still considered property. This episode, we've got the fascinating story of why she bet big on beets, as well as how, more than a century later, Wolfgang Puck and Martha Stewart paired this much maligned vegetable with goat cheese to spark today's beet renaissance. Meanwhile, for the haters among us: is it possible to de-beet the beet, and get rid of that earthy flavor altogether? Listen in now as we meet the astonishing Lydia Maria Child, in the curious tale of the beet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this week's episode of The Beet, Jacques chats with Kodiak, Alaska gardener Marion Owen, aka “The UpBeet Gardener,” about the thrill of growing in what she calls “zone zero.” She shares how she stretches her season by adapting raised beds with protective coverage for the coldest months. In summer, the sun can linger until midnight, giving her plants a surprising boost, but making hardening off even more important. Marion also reveals her secret sauce: blending volcanic-ash-rich native soil with homemade compost to make her garden pop. Connect with Marion Owen: Marion Owen is a gardener and co-author of Chicken Soup for the Gardener's Soul, growing against the odds in Kodiak, Alaska. While the climate keeps things interesting, she credits her success more to building healthy soil than battling the weather.
