BeetCast October: Future proofing the sugar industry

Understanding how to grow a sugar beet crop is only one aspect of being a good sugar beet grower. That's where the Sugar Industry Programme (SIP) comes in. Past participant, Eddie Liddle joins new recruit Henry Stanford and course organiser Sam Williamson from NFU Sugar to discuss why the SIP is so important to the industry.

Soil temperatures

Drilling into the right conditions is vital to getting the crop off to a good start. Our new weather stations are proving invaluable in helping us to determine what is happening in field.
