Not round here, they don't.
Last May barley we cut was just on 0.75t - bought next door's standing crop (lost a bit on the grain but made a bit on the straw).

its been a frustrating 24/36 hours combine decided to shake its self to bits at gone 7pm friday , even in harvest the main dealers dont open till 9 , to be fair they open but nobody there who has a clue . so stripped machine down problem found, then on tinternet search for bits new not an option and if ordered wouldnt be going before tue night/ wed Chap up north no sorry weve sold all those , so eventually driver 10am of to somewhere near warwick stripped 2 machines part sourced with a bit of modifying back by 6.30 pm will be ready to go by morning, oh f it its now raining
3 times round a field of flat barley, pee'd down again and forecast changing all the time
I'm now intrigued, what part did you actually need?
Sounds like hassle you really didn't need though.

Have you ever tied Richa
Have you tried Richard Manners for combine parts, he breaks a lot and is very knowledgeable and helpful.
I can normally get there in about an hour and a half. Had a returns auger went last year, was there for 7am back for 9am and combining as soon as the dew was off.

Well, done and dusted, best bit of wheat I cut was April sown Skyfall that did 7t/ha, much better than the Autumn sown WW. Mulika SW were seedbed fert was used was almost as good, then Mulika with no seedbed fert was just average. Glad it's over
we will be glad when ours is as well!

I’d settle for just below average , into spring wheat last couple of days
Light land 2 t acre
Strong land struggled to germinate 2 t acre
Good land 3 t acre
considering what’s it’s been through it’s not too bad , I’ve never known crops die under trees before this year .
I have noticed in the overlaps from the sprayer the wheat is a lot cleaner colour with less black ears sticking up.

This is a first! The best day of harvest so far and it in September. Didn't get going until 2.30pm as where I'm cutting want it dry and managed to clear the 45ac field of spring barley that wasn't yielding to badly. Last load was 16% but I wasn't leaving 6 runs in the field.

I share your frustration, we finish the wheat on Friday evening and moved into spring oats. 40m in the slow speed chopper drive failed (case), pulled off the offending part, fixed a repair and just got back to the field only for the heavens to open.
What a carry on, you couldn't make this sh1t up.
400 acres to go.
Don't regret going 2 weeks ago at 19%. Forecast don't look great for next week. So much for " September is harvest month ". What next, Indian summer in November ?

And a big drier?
Yep. We do commercial grain storage too, so whilst wet crops can be 3 times around the drier we do have that capacity.
