Sugar beets in Germany suffer this year already in April under dry conditions. Moreover, a frosty night on Easter Monday killed in some regions a few hundred hectares. Not an ideal start into the 2020 beet season! However, beets are fighters ...

#Sugarbeet harvest has finally started. We use a contractor to lift our crop as the harvester costs ££££££. We have delayed harvest due to wet soil conditions. The crop goes to @BritishSugar Wissington factory about 20miles away. This field will have wheat in next for @weetabix
