Although growers experienced a tough growing season this year, Mother Nature rewarded their perseverance by providing good weather for sugarbeet harvest. Growers had to wait an extra week before starting harvest due to warm temperatures, but once they began bringing in the crop, they had uninterrupted digging. “We finished on the 24th of October, with Savage the last station to complete harvest,” says Russ Fullmer, Sidney Sugars agricultural manager. “We had beautiful weather, the beets came...

After over a week’s delay from scheduled start-up, the sugarbeet harvest got underway on Oct. 8 for Sidney, Culbertson, Savage and Fairview area growers. Those growers in the Powder River and Pleasant View areas followed suit on Oct. 9. At press time, weather has continued to cooperate and growers have had relatively smooth digging with only a few delays at individual stations due to heat. “We’re about a third done,” said Randy Jones, Sidney Sugars, on Oct. 12. “If the nice weather continues...
Every summer, Sidney Sugars crews work to repair, maintain and upgrade the six pile grounds, preparing these beet receiving stations for the upcoming beet harvest. Some years, a particular pile ground may require additional attention, and this past summer, both the Savage and the Culbertson stations had special needs that crews attended to over the summer months. Because of this extra work, Savage this year has the capability to weigh semi trucks, an improvement that brings this pile ground...
Combine a love of driving with the desire to help out neighbors, and you have Wilma Prevost, Savage, who has been driving beet truck for growers off and on for the past 40 years. She hauled her first load of beets during harvest as a senior in high school.

Rasmussen, who plans to retire from Sidney Sugars in the spring, expects harvest 2011 will be his last harvest as an agriculturist. “It’s been a good run,” Rasmussen remarks. “I’ve served at every pile ground in...
Extreme times call for extreme measures, and sometimes these extraordinary efforts lead to innovation and invention. Growers today may complain about the difficulty of finding harvest help, but today’s situation doesn’t compare with the acute labor shortages growers faced during World War II, particularly during the 1942 harvest year. With all able bodied men off to war, growers worked with communities and state agencies to find solutions to labor problems. They also turned their creativity into...
