Beet harvest started wet this year

14 September 2017 - Redactie Boerenbusiness - 1 reaction

The sugar beet harvest got off to a wet start this season. Initially, it was still possible to harvest dry at the end of last week. That was over on Friday. We also see a few potato harvesters in action during the dry days.
