Cut two bits of wheat so far. Yesterday's about 8 t/ha, today's 6.9.
Still not 17 if you add the two together!

Shameful, cutting good crops without a tracked lexicon

Lol, I couldn't fit it through the gateway!!!
I know I said on only Monday this week that it was plenty green enough, but the prospect of wet on Saturday and then every third day for the forseeable future, has ripened our bit of barley sufficiently that cut it this afternoon
.
11 acre of Orwell and Flynn, 3 full AS 10 ton trailers and about 5 ton on the combine, so claiming about 2.8 ton/ac.
Not much of a row of straw.

realistically youll get about 7-8t of barley in a 10t trailer when allowing for drying/weight loss?I know I said on only Monday this week that it was plenty green enough, but the prospect of wet on Saturday and then every third day for the forseeable future, has ripened our bit of barley sufficiently that cut it this afternoon

Into a great crop of propino spring barley this evening, sown end of jan after beet ploughed and combi drilled. Looking like it will out yield the hybid winter barley

Leave it on the shed floor for 24 hours then put through the drier even if only blowing ambient air and the awns will come off. Only way to get awns off 6 rows.

I don’t think they have many wet holes round there
Yeah, I suspect it works so fine that stuff germinates pretty even with a good watering. Rather than rots. But fair play - it might be dead in a different year. We moved down here to get away from droughty blown sand.

Just for accuracy. Have checked the yield meter against a weighed load and it was spot on. So reasonably confident in the above.

Extase doing between 6.4t and 6.9t on lightish land over about three fields. Quite a bit worse than I expected and I don't think I had realised the extent which it had died prematurely. Zyatt in the same field doing 1 t/ha more, ranging from 7.2t to 7.9t/ha of the 80ac we've done so far. Heads of Zyatt hanging over more naturally whereas Extase stood upright and looked thin. Hectolitre weights sitting just over the 80 mark for everything, which is a bit odd if the diagnosis of the Extase is correct. As per the above, from a calibrated yield meter.
Low tgw doesn't necessarily mean low hectolitre.
