31st Beet Sugar Agriculture School
Monday, July 24 - Friday, July 28, 2023
The Beet Sugar Agriculture School is sponsored and directed by the Beet Sugar Development Foundation on behalf of the Member and Associate Member Companies. It is a self-sustaining school of agriculture technology and practice.
The purpose of the school is to provide to its students the basics of sugar beet production, as well as the latest technology and practices. The course will concentrate on, but not be exclusive to, that area of the country in which it is being held in any year. The school should increase the knowledge and heighten the awareness of its students to circumstances they may encounter in the area of sugar beet production.
There are no educational requirements for students. However, the courses will be taught at a college level. Course materials will be made available for student study and for future information.
Students are enrolled on the proposal of Regular or Associate Member Companies of the Beet Sugar Development Foundation. The BSDF Executive Vice President approves attendance of non-member company students on the following basis: space availability and tuition surcharge of $400 per student.
Prospective students will submit the online registration. Please click on the link below:
