Analysis
NAICS 111991 is the 2022 national industry for sugar beet farming, part of 11199 (All Other Crop Farming). Census lists 1 example activities under it in the official index.
Its goods appear in 2 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 1209 (seeds, fruits and spores of a kind used for sowing) and 1212 (locust beans, seaweeds and other algae, sugar beet and…). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
For example, growing beets (except sugar beets) are classified in 111219 (Other Vegetable (except Potato) and Melon Farming) instead.
Census lists 1 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 111219. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
County Business Patterns does not cover crop and animal production, so there is no establishment count for it; farms are counted by the Census of Agriculture instead.
