I doubt it will.

[Cowcorn]

I'm in too deep, "new kv monopill 12 row drill costing £1600 last season, 2 extra units to make the hoe 12 row costing 80 quid and a new scrubber web for the harveter costing a grand!!!!!!! I'm doomed.

Down to the axles , no doubt about it !!!

2nd lift of 24ha = 55.4t/ha adjusted.

 

[Goffer]

Currently Newark factory intake figures estimate they’ve had 25% of permit deliveries after 56 days If this is correct still gonna be taking beet at Easter .

 

[Bax]

Don’t watch country file. Does anyone know if there has been any mention of the crisis in our home grown sugar industry.

 

[Hooch]

But there will only be 60-70% of permit deliveries anyway?

Our haulier not planning to be back till jan now as over 50% of ours in already but the phone maybe ringing before Christmas if that’s the case . Ironically we will make quote reasonably easily but we did throw a bit extra in to cover a sh!t year as we normally sell a bit stockfeed .we’ll average 65t/ha but still dire by our usual standards.

Lot of people will be very envious of your 65t/ha

Well we are carrying on next year rightly or wrongly but need to stick a picture up saying “ bs beet” and the following picture

 

[Heathland]

1st lift delivered into Newark this week, 15.5ha 60.74t/ha adjusted,average sugar 16.5%,about 20t/ha down on my average.
Hoping second lift is going to be better due to the beet still being really green for some reason.
The only difference is it was drill 2 weeks before the 1st lifted beet,just the odd ring of virus yellow
Just looking back at some of my old grower records,interestingly I was getting these sort of yields back in the late 80s early 90s
Loader driver told me they had taken in some shockingly small beet.

Interesting, in that a percentage breakdown of three year/one year contracts is given.

Yes, more on 3 year than I thought.

 

[AlfM]

Cut our area to 1/3rd of this year. Fieldsman on phone today asking us if we’d up it again if they get the neonic derogation. Didn’t get the answer he was after.

First lift now all delivered 78.6 dirty tonnes/ha
Which came to 71.6 clean. One field of 20 acres was badly affected by virus and had sugar in the 15’s. The rest was 16 to 17 sugars.

Best yields I’ve heard are low 70s

That seems to be the consensus of my agronomist and anyone else I have spoken to.
