FF,

I am not sure of per pound cost. Michigan has developed a deer feed agriculture. There are many beet farms in the area around Saginaw. They lie between my place and my grandkids. I normally figure out a long weekend to the kids and bring back a scoop. I am not sure how many yards it is, but I would say it is at the 1000 pound mark. Last year it was 30 bucks. Judging from the way my half ton pickup handles. Cabbages are grown locally in fenced in farms. They are lighter. Normally you can find cabbages for around 30 bucks a pick up load. No squirrels, crows, bears or coons. Beets are better after they freeze.
