In today’s episode I’d like to talk about the annual Sugar Beat Harvest- since its pegged as the most profitable Workamping job- where you can make 2500 in just 14 days….
It’s said to be an unbeatable experience, and even though you’re working 12 hour shifts in sometimes freezing weather and covered in smelly dirt- RVers love it and head back year after year for the chance to score big for travel and adventures down the road.
The annual Workamper migration starts after the end of the Summer Camping season, when Labor Day celebrations are just dwindling down. Workampers who have hunkered down in the top tourist destinations of the year, now make their way South, heading for snowbird approved destinations for the Fall & Winter months ahead.
You may have seen it- the highways are packed with RVers heading south and to the far west, but some RVers have a different idea.

Since the local unemployment rate is pretty much non-existent, meaning everyone who wants to work is already working, Workampers are seen by some as the reliable infantry of seasonal help for the booming 5-billion-dollar beet industry. “Workampers are the heartbeat of our operation!” says Express Employment Professions. In fact, if you’re a numbers person, you might be surprised, or at least interested to know that a whopping 42% of these 1500+ positions are filled by Workampers each year!
Obviously, Americans love their sugar! And while working the Sugar Beet is a unique Workamping experience, the hiring team likes to be upfront and honest about the details of this opportunity to ensure that Workampers are making the best decision for their personal situations when deciding ...
