Thats only a problem if your trying to sow a rough old seed bed!!!!!!!

i am worried now 😁

just out of interest/theory......for you and 'lord lower the tone' (robbie)😁

i'm twice the distance that you are from beet factory....not such good road either...i'm quoted £960 for 29t load fodder beet delivered

how does that compare to an adjusted load of beet you get delivered to factory? factoring delivery allowance which i supposed you'd need to double?

Sounds reasonable really? I pay ~£150 for a twenty mile trip so its £800 for the beet which is ~£27.5 for the beet. Obviously lots more than we are paid but reasonable compared to barley etc? Especially as your haulage could be nearer £250 cos you need to add cleaner loading 🤷‍♂️

Bloody lord lower the tone!!!!!😯 I was being good and behaving myself as it was the Sabbath!!!!!!!!

When I looked the other day my beet were coming to between 575 and 600 quid a load(for the half decent ones the factory's didn't f##k me over on)🙄 haulage allowance is, I think 140 quid on top for s 26 mile haul. I think my man charges me £4.25 ton haulage.

You should be worried. I've been shopping at "fen edge" 😉
