How much beet will be grown this year? Is your new farm one of them place I've read about in the UK that in the past have centered there farm around growing beet? We're growing about 100 acres, don't know too much about the history of the farm as yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Heres a few pictures from today, I've been getting the beet drill ready by changing 96 small brass bushes on it. The bushes hold the seeder units tight and keep the row widths at 20 inches, however as they were worn it was allowing them to move between 18 and 22 inches. The pictures aren't as clear as usual as they were taken on my phone First new bush next to old one and the 7840 which it's used on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Some nice photo' again Gav and some good descriptions.
