I live in SE ND and am all too familiar with the fall beet harvest run.

I have never participated in it (I already drive way too many miles in a truck for my regular job) but I am a farmer at heart and have worked with a family farm that has grown to 5500 acres over the last 30+ years.

We run corn and soybeans but still need 8 - 10 people in the fall for harvest, but we shut down at night, albeit sometimes late. We need truck drivers (tractor trailer). No CDL is required in either ND or MN for farm trucks... I never really quite understood that, as well as drivers for heavy farm equipment, mostly for tillage work.

Last fall we had one guy, who is a local but had a long drive pull his small camper out to the farm to stay in for a couple of weeks through harvest. It worked well for him... shower and washer/dryer facilities in the farm shop, as well as a full kitchen in the break room.

I am going to suggest to the owner that he set something up with a work camping site next season.
