How long would you dare to leave beet in a clamp?
Been told the factories are likely to stay open till March. Problem is I’ve got two fields left that I’d like wheat drilled before Christmas.
Normally harvest and drill all the beet up by the first couple of weeks in December. And they seem ok in the clamp till end Jan/early feb.
If we do get them up I think they’ll be very clean as it’s be so dry up to now. So I don’t think (if we’re very careful) that pushing them up and putting in a clamp that they should heat up too much.
Always level them off too, with round bales around the outside, so some air can get into them.
Thoughts?
