can get 22% Dm washed beet for around £53 del which is about the same as rolled barley at £210 - beet must have a decent GM if 35t/acre at £45/t ex farm? - £1575/acre plus some sheep keep on tops/crowns or even more OM if ploughed in? Hearing of direct drillers putting molasses on fields to feed the bugs, beet remains must do the same job?
You’d think so, but I can’t see many beet crops doing 35t/ac round here this year.
I’ve certainly got no spare to lift, even if the local contractor was still interested in doing that job (having had two breakdowns lifting my surplus 3.5ac last year, I can totally understand him).
