Belfry starting to turn now, straw still green. Probably ready at end of the month. NE Scotland.
Made a start today on what will be my poorest crop of the year, or for a few years . Winter barley , parts of which got badly flooded, was too wet to get an autumn herbicide or aphicide , then died off in the dry spell. Will be lucky if it scrapes 2 ton/ acre . Nearly finished and the straw walker drive pulley fell off for the second time today. Made a new key and refitted it this morning, but looks like the shaft is worn and needs replacing . At least it was dry at 13%.
Will be lucky if ours is more than 1.5 ton.
I think I was being generous to myself with the 2 ton to be honest. Thankfully it’s only one field with the barley after maize, looking better . I think barley can’t be drilled early anymore, without Deter.

Some barleys now being done on the lighter land in West Suffolk. A pretty 'normal' starting date for the area - regret no yield info.

Even half the farmers weekly yields would be better than some of this. First time round the field is the highest yield, where the trees of hedges provided some shade and/or protected it from those frosts we got in May.
Heavier land should be better When I get to it.
Here is a bit of medium that gave us something a bit more reasonable yields.
The taller the crop, the better the yield!
Is that today ?

I drove through Morton in Marsh today, didn’t see anything close to being fit to cut. You must of been hiding behind a hedge.
