The picture above is a beet dump. When the beets are harvested this fall they are dumped here and eventually loaded in trucks with the equipment and hauled to the sugar beet factory in Scottsbluff. It was so fun to meet you Wednesday morning as you were headed to Alliance and saw you again today south of Crawford. I’m enjoying your posts very much.
Bernie, you went through Berea Ne on your travels, 8/16/19 . The white house that used to be a hardware store, also grocery store and post office back in the day. We have lived here since 2006 .Sorry we missed you. About the picture you posted cross between a gravel screen and a shrimp boat. That is a belt that unloads sugar beets into piles ,then trucks come get loaded and they drive to Scott’s Bluff Ne. To the sugar factory. Sept through Oct., Nov. Depending on weather.
Sugar beet, not beer. ?
Hi! The machine in the last photo is a sugar beer piler. ?
