His early beet lifts are showing yields of 70-80t/ha, in line with what he would expect from early-harvested crops, and coming out of the ground well after recent rain. “This season’s beet looks a better crop with more potential than last year, and we are hoping to get autumn cereals in after lifting the beet,” he tells Farmers Weekly.
