Well could you chop the part with the eyes off and sell the other bit too a chip shop, all joking aside might be worth asking Cygnet if they have any Elland seed lurking around as a grower for chippy’s, seems to be a worthy variety to try!

Cut them in half

Wouldn’t dare cut Agria, very prone to rotting. It’s not just the size, it’s the length and odd shapes. Have got a belt planter but not sure how it will work with the lengths.

No idea

Hope sagitta seed isn't that size or we are going to be seriously short

Hopefully they’d be a better shape even if big! I could only get some 50/60’s off one merchant.

You manage with a structural? We’ve got a Meidema structural, any tips?

Sorry I don't drive the planter the fella it belongs to plants them for me if needed

as I had Cara get to big and have 2 ton of big ones to plant
Miss being able to use sulfuric acid
to kill the tops it was the best for killing Lush seed crops quick

We work miedema/dewulf planter , anything over 60mm I usually split grade so it’s 60/65 and then 65+ , find the 60/65 is ok just have to take time , the 65+ is where u get few more hassles but if u have them in couple bins , makes the 60/65 easier and less likely to block if that makes sense , don’t cut agrias either

Anyone planting yet? They are near me blackish land, very wet, quick subsoil in front of of the combined bed tiller/planter and away. Very surprised to see it.

Odd field planted on sand land, most won't get a start for a fortnight.

Had a dig around yesterday, still plenty wet and cold enough at a spades depth. A little frost mould, but not very deep at all. Will look to start wk beginning the 15th I reckon.

going mad around here planting...guess they're all here cos everywhere else so wet

odd driving about seeing spuds being planted then bit further on heaps of beet waiting on collection

what's the truth about spuds?....I heard a very large arable outfit quitting spuds last week...10 staff in Yorkshire.. 6 in Norfolk gone

yet seems good on here

It really doesn’t look good to me as someone with no clue, I’d have thought it needed opening up and leaving for a week to warm up.

Are they hiring the land? There’s been some right balls ups around your area in previous years?

It’s a roller coaster! Some people wanted to get off I suppose?
