Not lifted any yet.
The very worst bits are still awful.
A walk across one field in particular will range from terrible to excellent and back in 5 paces.
I have 10 ha coming out a few days before Xmas due to be delivered before new year.
The results will determine what happens with the rest.

What are others sugars like???

My first lift has just gone and averaged 17.5% which I'm a little disappointed about to be honest.

On a better note I think they'll just about scrape a load an acre and thanks to a good bloke on the loader, 3.4% dirt tare and only half of them went through the cleaner loader.

My last load 18.32% sugar 5% dirt, no cleaner load.

That's is for this year.

630 adjusted tonnes off 8 hectares. Hardly a record but better than it looked in the summer.

Average sugar 18.2 %.
Average dirt 3.2%

The old cyclone made it to end of another season, along with the driver.
