No doubt it was more profitable back then…but yield wouldn’t have been anywhere near what we have now.

Costs would been lot less and no need for 3 fungicides

Do we ever need 3?

Do we ever need 3?

At the last bbro infield meeting at Morley yesterday there was talk of doing 4 fungicides

1994 we only use to put sulphur on for mildew now yield more but will soon be as bad as potato blight

I think the cheap impact is as good as anything on rust and mildew

I put one decent fungicide on and that’s it. Sweet FA disease so far around here so even that was probably a waste of time (I have untreated areas which are also clean)

It wasn't far behind

Much shorter campaign back then as well if I remember correctly.

York was always first week of February. Newark is now first week of April!

To quote Neville Chamberlain - I have to tell you now, that no such undertaking has been received.

Didnt he also say

"We are determined to continue our efforts to remove possible sources of difference, and thus to contribute to assure the peace of Europe.... and the profitability of British Sugar"

I might be wrong about the last bit.

It’s the same every year.only buy seed from BS and can only supply to BS.they dictate pretty much everything and screw the growers.they know time for drilling rape is nearing the end so will will just continue as they allwAys do.glad I finished with em 10 years ago.no more headlands taking a year or two to put right and no severely damaged tracks or hauliers who would dictate when they would take the beet either.
