Depends a bit what variety?
But we wouldn't be afraid to have a go.
At the pace we are going, we'll still be drilling when spin puts his appearance in on Thursday

Do we count potatoes as a flowering crop? I’ve never seen a bee on a spud flower?!

Tough to get into.
Haven’t sprayed an insecticide on sugar beet since neonics were banned.
Some varieties already gone. Make your decision and apply online otherwise get what you’re given.What do we all reckon then…I can’t decide whether to go neonic or not…more winter to come? I also wonder what supply is like and whether was a mad dash this morning to order seed…

Were they ever actually available to order unlike on information sheet ? No BTS3020, BTS5770 or KWS Evallota
Waste your time looking through price list / recommended list then go online to fill it in and not available on day one.!!
Gone for non cruiser as dont like all the restrictions going forward with cropping and cover crops.

I filled the form in sin Saturday and emailed a picture of it to them saturday lunchtime. Had a email confirmation 11 am this morning
Snooze you loose hey @flat10
First we knew about seed ordering was an email yesterday @ 10:35am. If the earliest you could order was @ 10:00am and varieties are a first come first served basis, everybody should have been informed before 10:00am to make it fair. Come on British Sugar/NFU Sugar.

Very small quantities of the 3020 and 5770 varieties apparently.
All gone by 10:30 yesterday.
So I'm drilling the same variety for the 3rd year. No cruiser. Will drill last week of Feb if conditions are good and seed is in the shed.

In their defence they did send out a mail shot the week before saying this would happen. I’d check your contact preferences with grower services if you didn’t get it.
