I spoke to him this Am and he said the same and then 10 mins later I had a text saying no return loads, so I assume bury has shat itself good and proper.
I know everyone has breakdowns but bugger me they've had 6 months to do maintenance and get everything right.

What’s the craic with Newark? Should I start lifting soon? Hand lifting ends of rows as the beet are so big they jam in the Opel wheels ( where they have no competition on one side from other beet). Not heard from my haulier yet.

Newark ihas still got ongoing repairs. Slicing about 50% of what it would usually be.
If you need it out, lift hand to mouth to make a start.

I’ll open up my headlands this week then swap my wheels back again.
Just don’t want to wait too long then start in a pissmire.
Looking at the crop I’m already over quota and am too soft hearted with neighbours to sell stock feed at a realistic price. So no point in letting mine get any bigger.

Lift them and this time of year store them in clamp and the deterioration in sugar and turgidity will achieve you desired result of meeting quota and denying BS the excess sugar currently in your over qouta crop. Win WIn - love a plan wen comes together!!

As said,get them lifted and don't give BS any extra. Bs don't give too hoots about us so why should we give a sod about them. It's petty but they've made us like it.
Getting them lifted now will allow you to get a cracking bit of wheat in behind them too
If I'm over quota I'll find other homes for them even if it's only the same price as C quota in principle.
What is C quota price this year??? Have they said yet??? Some of my livestock neighbours might be getting some cheap grub this winter!!!!!!

I think surplus beet is at a fixed price of £20.30 / adjusted t.
But I stand to be corrected!

I hope he's quicker at collecting beet than he is at sending out magnets!!!!!
£20.30 is near enough A and B price isn't it???

I thought there is only one price! Surplus off to Cattle men or AD. No spurious soil deduction of out of the ordinary low sugar percentage that seems then to affect five loads iether side of it.

There is, I'm just outdated and still call CTE, A and B when I should refer to it as my CTE.

Maybe we should buy some store lambs for the tops. But they seem to be very expensive. Will there be any margin in them?Sounds like you need some livestock….
The cattle got a bit drunk on chopped beet.

Does kinda rub it in for the 'committed' grower on £21 for 2022.

Playing devils advocate here but they did know what they were signing up too and at 21 quid the odds were pretty favourable that the price would go up rather than down at some point.
