Will starts the day harvesting beet at Fremington in north Devon for a local farmer.
Liquid fertiliser applications start with George in the Horsch Leeb 6.300PT and Harry in the John Deere 8400R and fertiliser bowser. Initially delayed due to maintenance issues on our mobile pumps they are soon up and running clearing 400-500 acres by close of the day.
The Vervaet beet harvester has a major incident and stops dead in the field with no sign of life. The day ends with the cause of the problem still a mystery.
