[QUOTE="Spud, post: 6490092, member: 78"] It does indeed. It says that the one yr price offered is better than £20.41 as it is now, or £19.07 in old money. (After crown tare has been removed) The email says 2017 level 3yr deal, so £22/t. Given the increased risks of virus yellows now, I'd like to see that nearer £24. Why the hell should we carry a the risk for such a paltry reward. The harder we pedal the bike of yield, the steeper the hill to success gets. My late father was getting £38/t for his 18.5t/ac beet crop in 1984. £700/ac top line, with much much lower costs to get it. Today my average is nearly double 1984's level, but my costs are also double (at least). Top line remains about the same. We're all running faster to stand still. One year beet needs to be £22/t at least, three year commitments need rewarding by at least another couple of quid on top. [/QUOTE]
