[QUOTE="Sonoftheheir, post: 5840654, member: 5156"] No, I can’t lay the blame squarely on them. Although I do have some concerns with them only having one lorry on the go most of the time. They tell me they can’t get the extra permits and when they can BS are giving them Sunday ones! I know it’s not good to have them in clamp too long but we do manage them better than we used to. We don’t push them up with a bucket anymore so they’re not getting cut and compacted in. We also use round bales so air than go through the clamp a bit better. They were harvested the last week end of November in dry conditions with very little dirt too. We had to weigh up the pros and cons, we’ve gone to all winter drilling for cereals. (Always seems to come too dry in the spring for spring cereals here) we want to be drilled up by Christmas. One year we lost a field of beet with frost, so vowed to have them all up by then. I think the only year we didn’t make our quota was when we lost that field. Apart from the crowns growing this year they still look ok, but obviously I’d be happier if they had gone already! [/QUOTE]
