spoilsport...I had a whole yarn ready for weeks...variety was gonna be a new experimental one...'panther'...with a brown seed dressing that quickened establishment (nutrients and warmth) with pest repelling qualities

Lets hear something about last years crop first, it has gone very quiet. Talking to my neighbour's this morning one had a low of 14.5% sugar another 13.5% another 12.5%. Profitable crop?Since its 1st March tomorrow, thought I'd start the next year's worth of sugar beet fun and games
@Breckland Boy have you started....or finished!! drilling yet?
Not at those sugars and high dirts

Average sugar was 15.7 with dirt tare at 3.8. We lifted in perfect conditions in early Feb. Yield was only 73.2 tons hct off some no more than average land. Variety was Janinka (Conviso).
Made a decision not to grow in 23, might regret it but at least the risk of wrecking my land with an overweight harvester is gone. Good luck to those growing this season as input costs continue to rise you will need the forty quid a ton to stay where you are.

That yield was good for this area.

Some growers on the North East Norfolk coast regularly grow 90 to 100 tons Hct.
And here. But your yield was good compared to many (mine included) this year in this area.

We're having some cracking beet coming in for feed, best grub we've had all year.

They are predicting 21st March, but will remain on a day by day basis after 18th March.
Still some fields local to me, but not sure if they've been written off or are palnning on lifting.
Without me trawling my cropping records can anyone easily tell me me what years we have been allowed/not allowed cruiser since the ban. My guess is something like 2019 and 20 no treatment. 21 treated, 22 untreated and 23 treated? My years refer to the spring of drilling or am I missing a year?

Thinking about it you may well be right
