I have just got back from making a flying 2 day visit to your neck of the woods ( West Malling ) went for a drive at lunchtime before heading back to Devon, I was amazed by the amount of combines out cutting wheat and every field I saw looked fit and samples I rubbed out looked good ( except for a block of either set aside/ organic stuff thou couldn't work out what it was!! towards Cobham way )
It wasn't you cutting with the Class at the back of Snodland towards Birling hill way was it?? a couple of JDs hauling alongside.

Well,we have cut in July before,and are advocates of COrdiale amongst our first wheat varieties.But this year I'm really disappointed.so far cut in last 2 days with 4 o clock starts for moisture just shy of100acre cordiale.lovely looking protein ,but yields are a very average 3.25 -3.5 ton across the fields and over the weigh bridge.now we usually manage 3.75 ton cordiale with the odd spike at 4 and just over ,so what's happened.? Barley same ,just average ,and rape to boot average again.With crap prices ,what a depressing year......

OSR and barley all done. Just cut once round a field of Cordiale at about 14-15%. Yield meter reading (on the wheat settings from last year) between 12-16 t/ha. Very probably gummed up with OSR and needs recalibrating - would be nice if both of these were not the case though!
Looks full of protein and heavy too.

I think you might find it doing well! Been in cordiale today and protein is not great but yield is amazing us.

Finished second wheat Gallant on light land 3.5t/acre over weighbridge @ 12.5 moisture and 78kg, going to get it sampled in morning and see were we are . yield good for us on that block of land . few showers kicking about but hope to get into Cordiale tomorrow
Yes Tw very pleased, moved in to some diego and thats equally pleasing. A fine week here and there won't be a lot left to cut.

Cut 20ha Gallant last night averaged 12% running at 11t/ha according to weighbridge very pleased edq's for next week no problem now
Yields looking good for us this year. Can not believe it when wheats were burning up in mid June as kept missing all the rain.
So far cut 28% of wheat area will yields from 3.1 t/a to 4.51 t/a. The light land fields suffering the worst.
Average yield 4.24t/a so far, all 2nd wheat Deigo and Gator.
This is incredible for us and would have expected almost a tonne an acre less.
Average moisture around 13.5% and 80kg/hl
40mm of rain overnight so won't be cutting anymore for a while.

A lot more than expected. Varied from 12mm to 28mm from CB9 to CB10.

40mm!!- you must be flooded! 7mm here at CB10
Cut similar percentage as you but no yields as high as 4.5t/ac but all over 4.
This could be the best wheat year since 84.
Old fashioned Claire went well, as good as Diego we have done so far.
Diego slower to cut, its taking a bit more rubbing out.
Might go better after this rain when it dries out.
