Are you trying to get them into Bury before it closes end of the week?

 

[carbonfibre farmer]

About 4mm.

We had the same.

A bit of blue sky. Yes trying to get it into Bury as we are a long way away from Wissy/Cantley.

Breckland biscuit munching beet haulier was saying Friday closing?

He's sat in the yard waiting for us to lift

 

[Bill Turtle]

Yes it’s more or less hour by hour now as to whether they have enough beet going in.

Plenty of lorries lined up too?

 

[Bill Turtle]

That’s for tomorrow.

 

[Bill Turtle]

Are you lifting tomorrow?

 

[carbonfibre farmer]

Are you lifting tomorrow?

No.
Maybe end of week, depending if it actually stays dry.
Ours can go to Cantley.

 

[Bill Turtle]

My haulage costs would go up a lot to Cantley or Wissy.

Ours will have to go to Cantley.

But if its too wet on the land and the harvester sinks in too many times, it'll be more than 1 years pain for the ground.

 

[Bill Turtle]

Definitely more than one years pain heading my way.

All out and gone to Bury, great job by all the contractors involved. Now trying to do something with the fields.

Holy heck. I reckon that would about put me off growing beet!! Are you going to put spring barley into that??

 

[Bill Turtle]

I hope so. I always think that growing some sort of crop is the first step in sorting out the field.
