We came across a story from Michigan radio station 99.1 WFMK where John Robinson takes a look back at the history of sugarbeets in Michigan. What was really interesting about the story is the photos that are included.
You can read and see the story here: https://99wfmk.com/michigan-potatoes/. The story starts with a history of growing potatoes in Michigan but immediately following the photos of the potatoes are historical pictures of sugarbeets.
Also included are some historical photos of cucumbers for pickles.
