    Sugarbeet delivery

    Beets going to become sugar. They'll probably not be done until after New Year so the truckers and folks at the sugar beet factory will work every day through New Year, just like they did through Christmas. No shutting down the factory until all the sugar is all done. Old lone tree has been probably been around long enough to have seen beets loaded by hand, this self walking loader/cleanser is really something.
