Couple of questions again, do you risk bruising the sugar beet, when loading and unloading the trailers, also, do you push the heap up, as you would grain or silage, to maximise your storage capacity Great to see footpaths, pains me that they have to cut across a productive field, I was always raised to walk around the field Thanks for your video Geoff
Hi Andrew, This is my first view of your videos for which many thanks. I’m not a farmer although I grew up on a farm and my late father ran a business importing agricultural machinery just after WW2! It’s fascinating to see how machinery has continued to progress and to see how farmers help in their work to provide food for the country. I’ll look forward to seeing future updates.
Fab, as always, and you don't ever waffle-on at all. You're weekly posts are always succinct, interesting, educating, and thought-provoking, whether exploring new crop for UK farmers, (beans, Phaseolus vulgaris) or exposing the EA and flood mismanagements, or public footpaths and bridlepaths and ancient rights of way, steeple to steeple, beacon to beacon, across fields and bogs. We are in a perilous era of extreme weather events, year after year temperature and rain records are being broken, and there is no steady certainty of 'seasons', as in 'the good old days', as we all know. It's critical, for survival, that top-notch, 5* professional agribusinessmen farmers like you X pollinate knowledge at a national strategy level, in round table with the ReGen and small farm movement; there's no time to waste waiting for civil-servants, duckwits in London, to SOS.

Sugar beet doesn’t bruise too easily but it can get cut with the bucket or when pushing up if you’re not very careful.

Hello Chris, thanks for your comments. The tech used today in Ag is mind blowing and it’ll only get more so with Robots staring to make appearances.
