Good 4t/acre again if it hadn't been for that.
Harvest Start Date
- Thread starter Fragonard
- Start date
That's our plan, too.
Huge amount of greenery appeared in the last couple of weeks anywhere crop not too good due to excess traffic.

We’ve got some osr that looks like it’s less than a fortnight away- direct cut! Not a good sign, probably dying off due to verticillium wilt

One rolling locally. Just in time to make this week’s copy of the Farmers Weekly.
Can’t be in too much of a rush as the combine driver is carting as well.

That's the plan here this time, too.
Cut non-stop all day, then take a few loads in.

Had a look at some Bazooka this afternoon that was drilled 21st September. If I was pushed, I could go now. Still a few greener ears in the tramlines, but 99% will bust my teeth when trying to chew it.
Trouble is that I still have a week’s hay making left to do first, preferably.
Just had phone call from SAI re doing a virtual assessment for our Deer enterprise. Was told Not till October thanks, especially as the NFU says all virtual Assurance tests are not compulsory. With harvest about to start And hay still to make, absolutely the last thing I want is any Assurance inspections!

Ian said that it was sounding like a forage harvester.
Something else I say to myself I always class The Corn Dryer to my second or third combine once it’s in the shed I can do something with it ,on a wet day ,We can be drying while my neighbours Are looking at their corn getting wet and the Quality disappearing out of it , waiting for it to come dry don’t Want to put it through a dryer .
Only 75 acres, apparently.
It's some kind of new special purpose experimental variety imported from France, according to local grapevine.

Another one was having ago near swaffham yesterday, he always starts early.
In the video of him on FW page on facebook hes heard saying he recons the yield is 7.5t/ha, you can recon what you like but its little more than a guess. I know how hot and dry that land is and I'd it's doing 7.5t then the rest of us are laughing.
I did have a look at some of mine this AM and it's a couple of weeks away yet. Its getting there and it tested at 17.5% at 9am but the starw is still as green as grass.
