Beet yields 2020

[Laggard]

If you had known how low sugars were, you would have made more as stock feed, seeing as contract performance doesn't apply this year.
Basically on that load they have got 11t for free.
Robbing bastewards !

If your not in the haulage scheme you paid to deliver the 11t as well.

Disappointed to see this in the local coop today.

Since when was cane sugar made in the uk?

Wow the beet has a fair mark up at £1350/t

 

[Rookie]

Surprised at the difference in price between 1kg of cane and 1kg of beet sugar, especially when it has to come in from abroad and still processed here.
Just shows we are a dumping ground for cheap imports.

Googled 1kg sugar most other retailers 65p for cane or beet. Coop not supporting British with that price difference, is it a mistake?

And how come the imported sugar has a Union Flag on it?

It is processed here and bagged.

I do agree, but we aren't in a fair fight with the likes of Monbiot, he plays dirty, every time, and when the enemy is prepared to break the rules of engagement, whilst we are abiding by such things as truth, science and honesty, then it make it very difficult to fight our corner.

Does monbiot have any qualifications that are relevant to his opinions? I suppose I ought to google, but I do wonder.

Disappointingly it appears he has degree in zoology from Oxford. Which they probably didn’t hand out on the back of a cornflake packet.

The list of wronguns who went to Oxford is pretty extensive, it guarantees a form of intelligence, but not honesty, practicality or a conscience.

That is shocking firstly the near double price and then the British flag on the cane sugar!
WTF!

Since the last time we exchanged on this topic, I have learnt that a college acquaintance is dining, singly, at hm pleasure for the most heinous of reasons. Lack of practicality of was a given (he was a government lawyer!) but it appears he has proven the absence of the other 2 character traits.

Are you admitting that you went to the darkside?!

 

[teslacoils]

Publicly criticising your generals mid-battle rarely helps you win. You hang them out to dry in the post war inquest.

They don't mind - revolving door into a consultancy job with the defective, overpriced tank manufacturers surely?

No, no - I was a scientist.

“The good thing about science is that it’s right” more often than lawyers anyway

Are you growing beet next year?
Fieldsman told me that they currently expect only two thirds of this years area for next year.

Does this reflect tff beet growers plans?

I'm not growing beet unless the derogation application is successful.
