Fodder beet

[Headless chicken]

Anyone had any prices yet this year?

washed ex farm I’ve been quoted £36.50.

potatoes are trading at £26.50 delivered but won’t add the sweetness but they make the fodder beet feel expensive to me.

Tatties aren't keeping v well according to one or two local users, higher moisture content and softer skins recently apparently. You short of grub or just looking for a bit of sugar ?

Just feed your wholecrop, save writting a cheque.

it's all about the transport. We're paying £24/t loaded but + delivery from one grower, £32/t (same as last year) delivered from our main supplier. It's a big crop relative to most years round here because we've had some wet stuff. Not washed but clean enough.

Looking to sweeten the ration and I like it to give the cows something to entertain them a bit.

Only so much we can push into them without sacrificing yields.... with that said butterfat still lower than I’d like.

Taken wholecrop out of our diet this winter and so far seeing no change in butterfat from last winter,not to say I wouldn’t grow it again,although the chances of me getting wheat in the ground now is fading daily

Put the money towards buying a roof and just feed your wholecrop
