Distribution of sugar beet farms by farm typology group, 2000
Small < 250 000 USD (low sales) 13%
Small < 250 000 USD (high sales) 27%
Small family farms, those with annual sales of $250, 000 and under, accounted for 40 percent of all sugar beet farms but contributed only 16 percent of the total sugar beet production.
Large > 250 000: 31%
Very Large > 250 000: large: 22%
Large family farms (annual sales more than $250, 000) accounted for 53 percent of all sugar beet farms and just over three-fourths of the sugar beet production.
Others 7%
Enterprise size is an acreage measure which in this report is one of five categories: farms with fewer than 50 sugar beet acres, 50-149 sugar beet acres, 150-249 sugar beet acres, 250-499 sugar beet acres, and 500 or more sugar beet acres.
