Cheffins monthly Sutton sale.

[Bill Turtle]

Can you still drop machines in over the weekend for next weeks sale? If so does anyone know the opening hours? Many thanks.

 

[Dave W]

Sunday morning approximately 9-12 but I would imagine it needs to be booked in or ring ahead.

 

[Bill Turtle]

Ok thanks.

Not much in any sales in August

Would that mean most of the buyers stay away? I was thinking of putting a tractor in.
(I would drive it up there).

The buyers that matter will always be there

I had a nice drive over there this morning, looking at some good crops on the way. Spoke to Joe and decided to let him take the details and put it in the September sale. Just goes to show there is useful advice given on here!

So I can't spend my time guessing which one is yours tomorrow then!

 

[Bill Turtle]

No, didn’t seem to be many maroon tractors anyway, lots of Green and Yellow, do you go every month?
Some decent looking Beet around Ely.

Sadly don’t go every month. I was just thinking how beet were just showing signs of yellows/disease/drought these last few days.

 

[Bill Turtle]

this was drive by farming, and you are right about beet just starting to show by etc. I have mine a shower with Mg/Mn/S last week which they seemed to appreciate.

Did you do fungicide at the same time?

 

[Bill Turtle]

No. I didn’t have any disease to speak of. I thought that the Sulphur should help prevent Mildew, and I will review fungicide timing later this week. I have the Priori Gold sat in the shed, and my son can drive the combine now. This makes it easier to spray as and when necessary.

Which sulphur product did you use? I went with Mn, mg, cu and priori gold 10 days ago. Evidence of mildew and cercospora now.
