Production planning estimate
Plan around lb of sugar beets
A starting estimate is 0.15 lb of sugar per lb of sugar beets. Work back from how much you go through in a year to see how much that takes to make.
What you'll need
— lb of sugar beets
Planning note: Extracting sugar from beets at home means shredding, boiling, and repeatedly reducing the juice. A genuine homestead project, and most cooks simply buy sugar instead.
