Working the sugar beet harvest in Grand Forks, North Dakota was a completely different experience than when we worked for Michigan Sugar—and in this vlog, we break it all down for you.
From onboarding and job assignments to pay structure, equipment operation, and downtime, we share the real details you won’t always hear about seasonal sugar beet jobs. Yes… we even talk about how we got paid to sit around and wait 👀
While on stay pay, Joe even tackled some maintenance—including fixing our trailer jack, one of those real-life tasks that always seems to pop up during seasonal work!
In this video, we cover:
What it’s like working the North Dakota sugar beet harvest
Our experience with American Crystal Sugar
How it compares to working for Michigan Sugar
The onboarding process in North Dakota
Different jobs involved in the sugar beet harvest
How the pay structure works (including stay pay)
Operating the equipment and daily responsibilities
RV life maintenance moments (like repairing our trailer jack while waiting)
Pros and cons of working in North Dakota vs Michigan
Our final breakdown: Which sugar beet harvest is better?
If you’re considering seasonal agricultural work, sugar beet harvest jobs, or wondering whether North Dakota or Michigan is the better option, this video gives you an honest, first-hand comparison—plus a peek into real-life RV living during harvest season.
