So I am sure that only me if interested in the pay for type of work. is this hourly or daily rate.. i guess its different rate for different job so just what you are sure of is good to know.
also on the campsite fee.. does that include any needed propane or just like elec in a full hook up site.
thanks
The pay is hourly for all work, training etc. I believe. The lowest hourly is around $14 p/hr. You are paid time and a half after 8 hours and all day/night Saturdays, Sundays are double time all day/night. There is a 5% bonus if you stay for the whole harvest, usually around 3 weeks. Safety gear is provided, vest, glasses, helmet, ear plugs etc. Skid steer operators, piled operators, foremen, mechanic/oiler make more per hour.
The campsites are full hook-ups, no propane as far as I know.
Also, if you work the night shift the first season, the second season would be days.
Feel free to PM me if you want more info. Trekker3

We worked the sugar beet harvest last fall in the Drayton, ND district. You will normally work 12 hour days, 7 days a week. We worked nights 7am to 7pm last year. This year we should be day shift as they trade each year. The work can be dirty, dusty, muddy and cold but we still had a good overall experience. The pay is good and you, as a couple, can earn a good deal of $$ in a fairly short period of time. We earned a 5% bonus for completing the season. We are planning to return again this fall. They pay for all of your campsite fees as well. We met a lot of nice people while there.
