Have you got much sweating sugar off in clamps on the farm?
All in clamps since November!
Ouch. I hope the increased yield from the early drilling of the following crop outweighs the sugar lost in the clamps!

All beet delivered 80.84 T/HA ..
Not to bad for this year I don’t think..
Adj. no irrigationImpressive - is that dirty, clean or adjusted? We've lifted about 30% so far, 73.7t/ha off 10ha - to say the first 2.5ha only did 50t/ha (lifted 2nd week Oct) I'm quite happy so far - most of the rest was irrigated, so it'll be interesting to see if it actually made any difference!
You're not far off the mark there, we are allowed to leave crowns on but if you store for long in these milder winters I wonder if we would be better off topping them properly? ( we had a rubbish plant so poor topping)Apart from the crowns growing this year they still look ok,
I think you get less sugar with more crowns for the reasons you describeYou're not far off the mark there, we are allowed to leave crowns on but if you store for long in these milder winters I wonder if we would be better off topping them properly? ( we had a rubbish plant so poor topping)
