In Minnesota and North Dakota, the beet plants start a pre-pile harvest in September and the main harvest starts about October 1, if the weather is cool enough. The temperatures need to be cold enough for them to maintain the sugar. If it is too warm, the beet actually starts a rotting process. The farmers haul 24 hours a day for about 14 days. The Plant starts up in September and continues until about mid-April.

In Michigan, growers can't use drops for cider. Once the apple hits the ground, that's it. It can't be sold in any form. I live in the Fruit Ridge area of West Michigan and I have apple orchards on all sides of my property. For the past 6 years we go out in the orchard and pick up the drops and make cider. On October 22nd of 2022 all the kids and grandkids came over and we made 27 gallons of cider. It's a fun family time!

The US food industry would shut down without legal and illegal immigration. In fields and factories, immigrants are busting their asses off in harsh conditions with minimal safety for low wages and doing jobs Americans don't want. They work long hours, no overtime, no holidays, no sick time, no paid vacation, no health benefits, no workman's comp, no unemployment benefits. The US Immigration system is broken, it should allow such hard-working immigrants legal status. Instead, they are exploited. We need these workers in this country. They deserve more legal protections. In Massachusetts we just passed a law allowing undocumented residents to have legal driver's licenses.
