Sugar Beet Available Nationally
Feb 04, 2011 - 09:11 AM
We have been told of a large quantity of frost damaged sugar beet which is still in the ground in Suffolk and Lincolnshire which is available free to farmers for stock feed with nationwide delivery. The costs of transport from Suffolk will need to be covered, but the producer can arrange haulage for you. For more details please contact James Harvey, Tannington Transport on 01728 628223
Addington is aware that feeding frost damaged sugar beet can cause problems and would suggest that you take advice from your vet or animal feed nutritionist before feeding this product. If you are experiencing hardship we may be able to contribute towards the haulage costs and if this is the case, please contact the office on 01926 620135 or refer to the ‘How we can help’ section of the website.
