Did you know? In 1747, German chemist Andreas Marggraf discovered sucrose in beets! 🧪 His student, Franz Karl Achard, took it a step further—breeding beets that were rich in sugar. Thanks to their early experiments, the sugar beet industry was born! 🌱 #PeteTheBeet #ASBG

On the way to bring you #sustainablygrown sugar beets. Did you know that all beets grown in Alberta are FSA verified as sustainably grown and produced? We're proud to uphold sustainable farming practices and bring you 100% Canadian sugar! #ABsugar22 #SustainableFarming #sugarbeet

The Alberta sugar beet industry contributes an estimated $248 million annually to the provincial economy — supporting over 2,150 local jobs across farming, trucking, processing, and more. When you buy local sugar, you’re investing in Alberta’s communities. #SweetEconomy #ASBG

Straight from the field. After getting unloaded into a truck, sugar beets are brought to piling grounds. There, they will be stored in massive piles -- as long as football fields -- until they are brought to the factory for refining. #ABsugar22 #SweetFromTheRoot #CanadianGrown

From the field to the stacks! The majority of Alberta's sugar beets are stored in Coaldale, Tempest, Taber, Budett, Vauxhall, and Enchant. These large stacked piles hold the sugar beets until they are transported to the factory. #ASBG #ABsugar22

🌾 Thank you to Agriculture Financial Services (AFSC) for sponsoring Alberta Sugar Beet Growers! 🌾 AFSC has been supporting Alberta’s agriculture industry for decades. Their commitment ensures Alberta farmers can continue to thrive from season to season. 🌱 #ASBG #ABSugar22

Science Fact from Pete the Beet! Sugar beets use photosynthesis to convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into sucrose, which they store in their root — up to 20% of their mass! #PeteTheBeet #ScienceIsSweet #SugarBeetFacts #AlbertaSugarBeets #ASBG #ABSugar22

Over 1 million tonnes of sugar beets are harvested in Canada every year—fueling local economies! #CanadianAgriculture #SugarBeetHarvest #FarmToTable #AlbertaSugarBeets #ASBG #ABSugar22
