But other posters are essentially correct summer months might entail some further sugar making after the actual sliceing of beets is done or remelting of some sugar that didn't make grade and lots of maintenance.

With large crops or short sugar supply factories start again as soon as mid-august and growers typically start harvesting 3 days prior to factory start. As another posted this called pre-pile. All piling sites are given a certain amount to dig and those beets are hauled away and piling sites are made ready for full campaign or harvest starting October 1.

If you are ever curious lots of job opportunities for 2-4 weeks in the RRV come October.
