Scott's wife, Gina, brought a meal (much of the food given to the family) to one of the crews Monday at noon.
She was touched by the generosity of volunteers. "It's pretty overwhelming," she said, choking back tears. "Scotty would have been embarrassed, but so proud."
The harvest efforts were organized by Ron Fick and Lowell Jauert who had worked closely with Scott on the Rock County Fair Board.
They said he'll be most remembered for his dedication to 4-H and the local fair. "He was Mr. Fair," Jauert said. "He kinda did it all."
Scott was a member of the Fair Board for 20 years, serving as past president, past vice president and most recently as treasurer.
Fick said it will be hard to replace him. "We're going to be short. He'll be missed," he said. "He did what would take six men to do.He knew everything about the fair and he loved it. He was just this pillar on the board. Whenever we had a problem, we'd look to Scott."
Scott was a volunteer for the State Fair 4-H Beef Show for more than 20 years, and Juanita Reed Boneface, former state 4-H youth director, said she always considered Scott one of her right-hand men in organizing and managing the show.
"He was always willing to go the extra mile, spend time in meetings and was always there for help in making hard decisions," she said.
Scott also served as Rock County 4-H beef superintendent for 25 years and he sold calves in the Winner's Circle Show Calf Sale for 29 years.
Roger said his son was involved with the fair since he was a little boy in 4-H. "He just wanted to do it," he said. "He loved it."
Local Rock County Fair legend George Golla, Luverne, wrote in a sympathy card that Scott was one of his favorite people since he was a little boy.
"He just seemed to be interested in many of the same things, such as agriculture, the county fair, 4-H work, livestock and many other things," Golla wrote.
"The county fair is going to miss him terribly. He's been so active in that job, and you could always count on him to do the job."
During funeral mass Friday at St. Catherine Church, George McDonald, Scott's friend of 30 years, shared insight on Scott's personality and his drive to succeed.
"Whatever he did, he did it well," McDonald said. "Probably the hardest thing he had to do was quit playing golf when he had his stroke (nine years ago). He could have probably done better with one arm than most of us could do with two."
His mother, Gayle, said she encouraged him to try golfing again, but he knew he would never play as well as he used to. "That was the thing with him," she said Monday. "He didn't want to do anything if he knew he couldn't do it well."
McDonald said farming was the love of Scott's life, next to his family, and he devoted his energies to the family farm and to being a good husband and father.
"The world needs more men like Scott Beers," McDonald said.
