The smell of sugar beets is still in the air in Scottsbluff.
The processing for the sugar beets is more than 70% complete.
You may notice giant hay stacks on top of the sugar beet piles, this is to insulate the beets from the cold weather and wind.
The hay helps to preserve the beets so they can be sliced for processing.
Jerry Darnell, the Agriculture Manager at Western Sugar Cooperative, says the cold weather shouldn't slow them down.
"The only thing we have to worry about is if there's a lot of snow it could slow up the re-haul trucks. So we have to watch for that, but additional snowfall will not hurt us."
Darnell says they expect to be done processing by February 20th.
