The other thing that surprised me was that NFU Sugar thought this was a good deal. They seem to be walking miles out in front of the membership on just about every issue.
Ha ha I do swither a bit but this time I think it’s final. I’ll actually miss the crop as it gives me a certain buzz growing it but really am I using my time to full advantage messing about with 20 acres of beet through the winter. Probably not. Ought to be doing a proper job through the winter!@DrWazzock Don’t keep mulling it over or else you will change your mind again and sign up again for next year,,!!
Ah but is that a pound with zero top tare, market linked and local delivery bonus?I'll have a pound that the doc ends up growing beet again next year!!!!

What's the betting that bs are corporate members and quietly steering nfu policy with their corporate membership fees?The other thing that surprised me was that NFU Sugar thought this was a good deal. They seem to be walking miles out in front of the membership on just about every issue.

Well it was going quite well today. I reckon on downhill slopes it uses no diesel. The machinery just acts as a brake on the engine.There you go again Dr w you 'think it's final' surely you should have said 'it is final'. I sense a wee touch of indecision still. Reckon the lure of the Cyclone may just tempt you yet!!!
You just talking your self back into itField is round the house and yard next year so no PITA road carting. That's one thing going for it. Downside is I will be able to see it from my bedroom window.
This is our last harvest. Finally decided. Harvester worn out and can’t justify replacing it or getting contractors in for 20 acres.
Some sadness but a heck of a lot of relief as well. It’s always been a bit of a battle from start to finish. A long slog into ever worsening conditions. Won’t miss it, but good luck to those carrying on.
