[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 5869038, member: 166"] It is no more of a blackgrass break than any other spring crop. The same graminicides are used with only one extra - ethofumesate. That is different chemistry but won’t be a silver bullet. Steerage hoes won’t grub up well tillered blackgrass plants but can kill smaller ones. You’ll have to talk to current beet growers about the economics. Feed beans are £188/t for Nov 19 with premiums of £20-50/t. Peas min £230 max £280/t pre Xmas. Don’t forget to factor in soil and track damage from lifting beet in winter, plus a yield reduction from the following crop if its winter wheat and is sown late. What will it cost to transport the beet to Newark from you? Unless you’d grow decent spuds on the field I’d say beet was marginal vs other spring crops. All in my opinion, of course. [/QUOTE]
