Piet de Goede, a Dutchman, raised the world's biggest beet in 2005, weighing 156 pounds. This incredible achievement was accomplished by de Goede, who had been cultivating vegetables for over 40 years, and was a testimonial to his knowledge of the industry. The beet was so massive that it made the Guinness Book of World Records.
