Are they hiring the land? There’s been some right balls ups around your area in previous years?

Yep. Had standing water on a lot of it a month ago

I think the seed is happy enough in the coldstore, have seen them in other years being planted and through the ground in less than 3 weeks if conditions right

Quite a few rots in this Agria seed, anyone else finding many?

 

[Luke20]

going mad around here planting...guess they're all here cos everywhere else so wet

odd driving about seeing spuds being planted then bit further on heaps of beet waiting on collection

what's the truth about spuds?....I heard a very large arable outfit quitting spuds last week...10 staff in Yorkshire.. 6 in Norfolk gone

yet seems good on here

You either win or lose not much inbetween, few bad years and people get fed up working for nothing

We have some in our miranda seed, a relation to agria

How late can you go with planting potatoes?

 

[dave6470]

The latest ive ever planted was the 10 june
well it was my dad I was only 9 at the time

 

[ridger]

How late can you go with planting potatoes?

10ty July was latest grew ok but dry matter wasn't the highest

 

[Hillseed1]

Have seen them planted well into June too, get a lower yield tho. And can be quite late harvested.not really ideal

 

[ridger]

I see some late july early august planted ones but looks like they not going to be dug

As im growing seed its not so bad lif late planted as size and dry matter arnt as important as tuber numbers

 

[Trying my best]

How's the seed situation going?

 

[dave6470]

Seed been good price wise this year other than the weather couding problems trying to dig and having PB 2 KingEdward downgraded with virus
As im growing the seed for anther grower I know 3 years in advance that there all sold
and normally in his coldstore by the end of October other than the past season when I was still diging in January
