If you are looking to earn good $$ in a short amount of time in a workamping position I would have to say that the sugar beet harvest is hard to beat. My wife and I worked it the past 2 seasons. Due to our positions, both years we spent around 4 to 5 weeks in the northern part of the Red River Valley. In 2013 we grossed about $9.5K, which included bonuses, training, etc. This past season, 2014, we ended up with $11K for our stay. We arrived Sept. 12th and were done by Oct. 15 this year. Last year I was an assistant foreman (basically learning about the operation and working a variety of the positions at a piling station) and my wife was a scale house worker on the night shift. This year I was offered a foreman's position at a piling station and my wife worked the scale house on day shift. I worked most of the days we were there and my wife just worked the 14 day period that the full harvest lasted mainly. Our campsite was nice and even included cable tv and wi-fi. All in all a great experience and we met many wonderful people.
