I understand where you are coming from and you have to go with what suits you best.I'm only farming part time, full time job off farm so don't have regular contact with good maize or beet customers. I prefer to be in control of my own produce so stuck with continious cereals for now. There's a lot to be said for dealing with a co-op or mill, deliver the product and the cheque arrives. It would fry my head to be dealing with guys that will say one thing and do something entirely different if it suits them.(i dont need your maize afterall had loads of silage!!!!!)
What happens around here a lot is the farmer let's his field to a bigger grower for either maize or potatoes. The grower takes the risk then of growing/selling the crop and the landowner has a break crop, rent from letting the field and bps.
