It's the sugar beet bit that's bothering me.

Just do like the good doctor and stop growing beet

 

[robbie]

ring bs and say you're terribly sorry but you are leaving RT and do they still want this years beet or should you grow them for stockfeed instead......next year drop the beet

Most of what you say Is a good idea, I'll tease the fieldman tomorrow and see what he says, as for not growing beet!!!!!WTF!!!!! I've endured the worst years and things Lok to be picking up so it would be a bit of a "spinney" thing to do dropping beet now!!!!

At £27/t they ain't picking up. Fieldsman needs to be offering 40plus.

Granted, at 27 they've stood still at best but I get the impression Bs know they've peed of the growers.
I predict 33-35 quid next season which isn't enough they need to be high 30s but I do have two harvesters sitting in the shed I'm itching to use!!!!

Pack up growing beet in your own right but go contracting instead. No need for RT and you still satisfy the itch of harvesting beet.

To be honest I haven't got round to ringing him yet, it's on tomorrow's to do list. I lost my sh!t with enough poor unfortunate souls lastweek!!!!! I don't want to have all the fun at once!!!!

Could do bit there's no substitute for the reward from growing your own crops!!!!

I think you should ask if you can sign up for beet only. It would save all the mass balance, temp records, moisture meter rubbish

Worth a try although temp records have been similar for several years,oddly.
Mass balance they can go swivel, and I have 2 Marconi's which I test against each other and then use them to test the portable one, they've always been satisfied with that.......aslong as I've written it down.

latest opinion harvester survey for those that are members is on RT (no doubt paid for by RT.......) lots of leading questions but it is an opportunity to feedback and make our feelings known (and get £7 of your membership fee back )

It's not from RT. Opinion harvester is data collection company.

I filled out my survey and also sent the following email to red tractor.


Good Morning, I have just filled in your survey and found that the question format was skewed to give you the desired answers you were looking to receive. The fact that also there was no section to give comments about the survey does nothing to improve the image of Red Tractor and only reinforces the opinion that you are not listening.

RT Acoura is now called LRQA.

Tried to ring to ask them to stop sending renewal reminders as i am not renewing, but keep getting answer phone.

So balls to it, will just let them keep on sending reminders till membership expires at the end of the month
