How much are you asking for to dispose of them? From what I hear the spud job is terrible here and on the continent even worse, with reports of spuds being dug and dumped on the headlands.

That's what I'd heard too - thought I'd offer a useful waste disposal service ;)
Seriously interested though, if anyone knows of a decent supply for the next few months

Why would they dig them and dump them as opposed to just cultivating them in?

I will mention your ad to a few guys.

Was supposedly in Germany, my neighbour is a big spud grower and it was he who told me. If in contract ok, out of contract 8 euro/t, scary stuff.

I was told this week that in Belgium Quoters are coming back, based on a 3 year ave area.
So the Belgium farmer has grown far more this last two years so as to get more Quota.

If that's true, are they mad ?
