Well, I don’t like to show off but we’ve broken 100t/ha for the first time ever! 108 t/ha at 16.68% sugar. This was the last field.

You’ve done very well! My root yields weren’t bad but sugars messed up any 100t/ha potential.

Yes , I've found that if you fully logout it works much better. It's a bit of a pain but does help.

 

[Sonoftheheir]

Well it’s loading slightly faster now!

92.4t ha average across the lot. First field was 77 t/ha last 108 t/ha.

Yes very slow. Logging out of the first stage then logging back in to get through the first stage then to the beet account seems to speed it up.
Finally delivered last load of my quota today. Only 5 tons left in the field in a wet hole. Couldn't care less now if it gets frosted. The sheep can have it later if we get it.

Done about 70 t/ha. Amino N's between 6 and 50, so i reckon the N leeched in June during the 4" rain event. Burnt up during the summer. Dirt tare averaged 5% through cleaner loader. Not a brilliant year but thankful its mostly out of the ground and quota is delivered. Sugars averaged 16.2 %. Not brilliant.

Paraplowed, paraharrowed and drilled.

£15 I think. Nowhere near quota this year

 

[robbie]

C quota are £15 per ton plus late delivery bonus plus haulage allowance which for me is £5.25 I think.
I dont know what LDB is now but must be getting on for a couple of quid.

I had 120 ton of C beet youd have been welcome to some of them rather than them go to BS to line theres pockets.

Your haulier was too quick to get them

 

[spin cycle]

£15/t for c is good money IMO.....means b'stards want them but not willing to pay decent money for A +B.......i'll stick to the £20/t i offered him...thanks

He was but that's only because, in his words
" they keep buggering about waiting for it to dry up" [emoji3] [emoji3] [emoji3] [emoji3] [emoji3]


I think he was glad were on sand so we could keep fiddling a few out for him to keep him going.

Ask him about nanna's coffee!!!!!
