“As we approach the sugar beet season, we have a number of harvesters imminently ready for their next lease of life, so jumped at the chance of the combined auction-hosting to test the waters with the potential view of taking an annual slot in Cheffins’ auction calendar to expand our reach to more potential buyers.”
