CTF sugar beet

420 acres of Controlled traffic sugar beet. 
We have topdowned, subsoiled at 5.95 metres. Left over winter and spring cultivated with the 11.9 metre Dalbo. Ed Banks has come in and drilled on RTK at 5.95 metres, 12 rows at 49.5 cm spacings. We aim to harvest with the a 6 row at 2.97 metres, trailers to work at 2.97 metres on the previous pass. 
Inter row shielded spacing to control the weeds is planned.

    Interesting so see your plans on integrating beet in your CTF system. I hope you will post a photo of your harvest gear.
