Trouble is rain just spreads it and warm damp weather makes it grow better. The mildew that is.Its getting a good wash down at the moment.!!

Get a big dose of bittersalz, boron and kelp on it.Yea, its not my first time growing beet but believe it or not this year and last year is the first time I have seen it go white with mildew. Must be the variety we have.
Tops are slowly getting blotchy as can be seen but hopefully the lifter will be here soon to get a few acre outVery impressive @headcase ... I'd swear I came across something even bigger this morning ..il have a root for it tomorrow and if I find it,
il post up a pic just to try beat you:fight:....
Beet is after doing exceptional in the past 4/ 5 weeks... if anything, the tops aren't as high as last year but the root is streets ahead.
Still yours is a good cropI couldn't find anything bigger today in the yard to match that monster you posted @headcase ...
This is what's harvested so far here, Magnum variety and alot better than this time last year!
41.....Early indications are over 35t/acre
Would be expecting that for magnum, but still early and could throw on another 10t I kind weather. Think I saw a figure of 4t if a mild November.41.....
TARINE is the variety I got, 20something % dry matterWould be expecting that for magnum, but still early and could throw on another 10t I kind weather. Think I saw a figure of 4t if a mild November.

Pulled a 4ac field Monday morning. Ground conditions were great with very little mud on the road. Don’t know about yeild but happy with the heap in the yard anyway. Twin row wasn’t making it around a 4ac field anyway.

First of our own beet coming out today. Later than planned but that’s the year that was. Starting with a field of Magnum with a few patches of crown rot that won’t handle too much frost.
Not it all but usually 1000+ bales stacked outside each year. It’s not ideal and we will build a shed for it eventually but if you stack it tight there’s not that must waste and it’s fine for bedding. It’s not really waste anyhow as it ends up going back to field in the dung spreader.Do you always stack the straw outside like that? Much wastage
Do the Cattle justify 1000 bales of straw for bedding . We used to have cattle and part of me misses them but I was talking to a man and he has a dose of pneumonia going through his and is taking all their temperatures daily and I thought I have better things to be doing on a Saturday evening .Not it all but usually 1000+ bales stacked outside each year.
