BeetCast November: Harvesting for Optimum Yield

On-farm conditions are unlikely to ever yield a 100% harvest of the crop, but could we be recovering more? Mark Winters (British Sugar) talks about harvester testing and how we might be able to recoup just a little bit more.

Soil temperatures

Drilling into the right conditions is vital to getting the crop off to a good start. Our new weather stations are proving invaluable in helping us to determine what is happening in field.
