Not much to add beyond what's in those books - if I'm not mistaken, there are photos in several of the books. In addition, there was a 12 page article in the November, 2008 issue of RMC on modelling California's sugar beet industry. While Ontario's industry was probably on a smaller scale, much of the operation looks to be similar, including the use of drop-bottom gondolas.
The article covers both the prototype operation and modelling, and includes a drawing of a good-size loader, in addition to plenty of photos of models and the real thing. It also suggests using Anise seeds to represent the beets: they certainly look good in the photos.
I plan on including at least one loader on the second level of my own layout.
