Total acres would be thousands and thousands!!! Depends on the farm as to how many each farm plants. Here are a couple vids.

beet harvest 2008 - YouTube

Special Episode: Sugar Beet Harvest - America's Heartland - YouTube

Good evening Troy. I'm not used to that scale of farming. We grow the red beets in our garden

LOL!! Yeah the farms out this way are pretty big! Farming 1000 acres out this way is a small farm.

We would have to cut a lot of trees to make 1000+ acre fields. Be like it was back around 1900 when sheep farming was big. Crazy to se pictures from then and how much was cut for pastures

Well the fields aren't that big in a single field but rather total acres farmed.
