Including those on a 3 year deal?You'll be pleased with the following, however still not enough.
Think BS are getting worried, but a bit late in the day as some will have been put in with Spring barley.
Just had an email saying that :
All contracts to pay at least £27/t for 2022/23 crop
has he got a strip till cultivator in front of the drill?Made a start drilling today.
Direct into an ex 2 year ley.
Reasonably confident that it won't blow.
What sort of drill is that?Made a start drilling today.

My plan is to do as I always do, plough/press and a day or two later drill beet straight into it. No moisture loss but I appreciate a lot of land will need working so my thinking would be to drill asap while the moisture is still there.So with the impending drought starting today after this batch of rain what are people's plans with beet drilling? drill asap into moisture or wait for a rain forecast in a couple of weeks and drill later into a warmer seedbed?
I drilled one field last year pre drought in March and it was massively out yielded by 2 fields drilled in late April ( about the 28th ) which got a good soaking after a couple of days , into warm soil it never looked back .
Bigger balls than me. i will definitely try some ASAP depends how dry it gets how quick if I carry on. Not ideal if you need to move it twice to get a seedbed,.....So with the impending drought starting today after this batch of rain what are people's plans with beet drilling? drill asap into moisture or wait for a rain forecast in a couple of weeks and drill later into a warmer seedbed?

Drill when conditions are good. If that means next week or late April so be it.So with the impending drought starting today after this batch of rain what are people's plans with beet drilling? drill asap into moisture or wait for a rain forecast in a couple of weeks and drill later into a warmer seedbed?

Newark is still open. Not sure about others.are the factories shut now?
Blimey, that's very late to even consider re drilling!!!! When disaster strikes it gets questionable whether its worth redrilling into may.Is this normal time for drilling beet? I planted mine last year first week of June . It’s av 65/ha . I know we’ve had an exceptional kind autumn and winter.
