Media Statement - Campaign Start Dates

7 September 2016

Following discussions with NFU Sugar we are pleased to announce the campaign start dates for the 2016/17 campaign.

Due to the later maturing nature of this season's crop, it has been decided to start this campaign slightly later than normal.  This will ensure the crop has the opportunity to grow to its best potential and help maximise available yields. 

This season's campaign start dates are:

• Newark            4th October
• Bury                 4th October
• Wissington      6th October
• Cantley           11th October

Colm McKay, Agriculture Director said: "We were keen to give growers an early indication of the start dates so they can plan their harvesting and delivery plans accordingly."
