chris.watson Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 You start lifting beet when the factory opens for intake, which was a couple of weeks ago I think. Early off with the beet means early on with the wheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Theres still a little bit grown around here, but only for fodder - and it usually seems to be lifted very late, march/april time, though that could be something to do with all the rain we have!

Jdeere6910 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I think they are lifting early this year to reduce yields due to a surplus and low prices. May be wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
