Ventilation and freezing were accomplished using fans and an above ground duct system. Pile temperatures and sugar loss data were compared to a nonventilated check pile. Data analysis indicates the ventilation and freezing were successful in minimizing sugar losses in storage, while a check pile experienced very significant sugar losses.North Dakota State UniversityStorageSugar beetArticle
