[QUOTE="Al R, post: 8128161, member: 7565"] It doesn’t with maize. My only experience of growing a lot of beet was costing near £800/acre to grow! Everything thrown at it, 22 passes from plough to harvester. I wouldn’t want to risk that sort of costs giving a semi crop because I skipped £60/acre. Every DD maize crop I’ve seen has been mediocre and the plough based system in the other half of the fields gave double the crop. Never seen DD beet though hence why I was asking, you don’t see many on the fens growing DD sugar beet 🤷🏻♂️ [/QUOTE]
