Once growing rutabagas was a sideline for
mixed farmers: something to be grown on a few
acres to help pay the bills. Today, like many
farming commodities, it's highly specialized with
a few large producers filling the North American
market. One of those is the Hubbard family of
Blyth which has
been producing
the roots, storing
and waxing them
for more than 40
years. The
business and the
market has
changed a lot
over the years,
George Hubbard
says.
