Wyoming beet farmers are getting ready for the annual harvest. Monday marks the official start of the picking season in Fremont County. Farmers plan to work all day to take beets from the field and send them to plants where they can be processed. Nearly 600 tons of beets will be harvested per day at Jennings Farms. They say the work used to be done by hand, but it is now done mechanically. Beets are mainly used to make sugar and syrups.
