Nomadland by Jessica Bruder is on sale by Audible, today only, at $3.95. I don't know anything about it but it is apparently about Workampers:
"From the beet fields of North Dakota to the wilderness campgrounds of California to an Amazon warehouse in Texas, people who once might have kicked back to enjoy their sunset years are hard at work. Underwater on mortgages or finding that Social Security comes up short, they're hitting the road in astonishing numbers, forming a new community of nomads: RV and van-dwelling migrant laborers, or "workampers". "
I haven't heard about any beet pickers on the forum tho, heh.

Just reading the blurb it makes full-timers sound like migrant laborers.

This sounds like the same book that was causing some controversy on the forum some weeks back.
