    I'm getting sugar beet for €45 delivered. 5 miles away so delivery not a big cost.

    I might have a fair few tons to sell at that sort of a price, any idea on what variety? lots calling hybrid beet - sugar beet. Is that price straight from the field?

    Thats delivered into the yard bob.Its not hybid but definitely sugar beet and not white fodder beet like magnum. Do you reckon its high. I paid 40 last year but my grower wants another 5 for higher diesel.Fair enough I thought as its been 40 for a good few years.A mighty feed for milk i reckon.

    put the cat among the pigeons and ask what variety it is. I would find it hard to tell the difference between hybrid beet (blizzard,festina being the main 2) and a sugar beet especially if it was a poor growing year
