Good job.  Interesting process.

I had to google what a sugar beet was ....... learnt something new today

The film is mesmerising and I could watch it for hours.

Aloha Merlino,

     Interesting video.  That is a long batch of Sugarbeets!   I did not realize they were so big.  Mahalo!

Aloha and Drone On!

It is quite a long-standing industry, crops of sugar-beet were grown in France in the early 1900s and transported by small railways to sugar factories.

Very interesting watch!

Aloha Geebax,

     Sugar beets put our sugar cane out of business.  And our sugar cane had little trains with portable tracks that used to get the cane to the mill.  In the US, most of the sugar beets are grown in Louisiana.  (Now they have all our government subsidies.)  Only about 10-15 years since our last sugar cane operation closed down.

Yes, a couple of years back I visited FiJi and the story is the same there, but many of the rail lines are still in place, even though not being used. We still have a very large sugar cane industry in Australia, but it is very automated.
