Average characteristics of sugar beet farms, 2000

Note: numbers will vary considerably for European farms as many countries discourage similar professionalism and merging of farms compared to the Americans. There are considerably smaller and less profitable farms in EU countries as far as I know.

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.
