Sent mine off?
More than a fortnight ago? Been down a while. We have had emails about it.

Unless anyone is selling a bit for stockfeed for a better price, instead of sending it all to the factory.

I sent my contract back on the 30th Oct.

It is bloody handy though, I’d love to check what the dirt tare is (they’re not using a cleaner) atm

I sent my contract of in the last day possible and I haven't heard anything from them. Has everyone else had confirmation of "offer to grow".
Perhaps it didn't help that I filled in the NFU/BS survey a week or so ago and I told them a few home truths about how they treat growers and the farce that is Germaines and the monopoly supply of seed.

I too haven't had anything back from BS.
With their computer being broken I can only assume that they can't work out how many thousands of tonnes short they will be next year and should they offer an extra 50p/t.

They are sending paper forms by post.
Much the cheapest anyway.

As if by magic!
Is the price down by much?
It’s gutting seeing nearly our whole first beet remittance money going out for seed!
Not much. Untreated (Xbeet plus and Thiram and Tachigren as used in previous years) varies from 132 to 168. And there are many different combinations of treatments you can add to boost up to about £190. Max price is 203. Not all options are available on all varieties.
Got a seed one but not a contract offer yet? Why can't they email us to say they will send a paper form or better still just email us a spreadsheet to fill in?

I didn't study it indepth but I got the jist that now we've lost neonics, they've added some fancy crap or combination of fancy crap to help the crop(so they say) but ultimately to help them justify a price just as high as when they were applying something that actually worked.
Try several and let us know how you get on. I will be 132 is quite a bit cheaper than anything I bought last year (from memory 18x was the cheapest i bought.......)
