*HOW TO GROW BEETS?
When you hover over a plot, a tooltip tells you the action to perform. To begin, click on the plot to choose a new action:
*STEP 1 - LABORING
During the plowing stage, turn the soil in your plot to prepare for sowing. This will allow you to place your seeds correctly. To plow your plots, use the plow.
*STEP 2 - FERTILIZATION
To fertilize, it is possible to add supplements necessary for the normal development of sugar beets to the soil, after analyzing the soil. To carry out this operation, use the spreader.
By providing protective treatments in the right quantity, at the right time and in the right place, beet growers have managed to reduce their use by 30% in 30 years.
*STEP 3 - SOWING
Use the seeder to sow sugar beet seeds on your plots.
*STEP 4 - HARVEST
Your beets have now grown well: it's time to harvest your produce! Just one of your plots can produce several tons of beets! To harvest them, use the beet harvester.
The 26,000 beet growers produced 4 million tonnes of sugar beets in 29 French departments in 2009.
*STEP 5 - DIGGING
To be able to deliver quality beets to factories, they must be as clean as possible. Use the earth remover to remove as much soil as possible from around the beets. You will then see pretty white beets appear!
*STEP 6 - TRANSPORT
Your beets are now ready to be transported to the processing plants. Choose whether you want to produce sugar or bioethanol and your trucks will make their own deliveries to the sugar factory or distilleries!
Over the last 10 years, the quantities of soil removed from the fields have decreased by 10%. This represents, in terms of saving land transported, a queue of 30,000 trucks!
The agrishop is the place where you can buy seeds, fertilizers and agricultural equipment.
There are different levels, which you will be able to unlock as you progress in the game.
*WHAT TO DO WITH BEET PRODUCTION?
- Produce sugar
It is in the sugar factory that the sugar is extracted from the beet roots.
A tonne of beetroot can produce up to 147.5 kg of sugar!
- Produce SP95-E10
In this distillery, the sugar contained in the beets is transformed into bioethanol.
Bioethanol (10%) is then mixed with gasoline to produce SP95-E10. This fuel has grown significantly in recent years and since the beginning of 2012 has represented a gasoline market share greater than SP98.
- Produce SUPERETHANOL E85
E85 is a fuel composed of 65% to 85% bioethanol and SP 95 gasoline.
Motorists' interest in Flex Fuel vehicles compatible with E85 is growing: with +90% sales of Flex Fuel vehicles in the 1st quarter of 2012 compared to the 1st quarter of 2011, France already has more than 25,000 vehicles in circulation!
*HOW TO WIN IN THE DRAW?
Every week you have to complete new missions. It will be necessary to produce the necessary volume of sugar and bioethanol within a given time. Succeed in your missions and earn additional chances to be drawn!
