ps, is there only me left cutting now 😂

nope
We’re still on spring barley
It’s probably gonna average 3.5 ton/acre.
cant believe where it’s actually coming from
Thought our yield meter was out but the second combine is reading the same
Loads of bright straw too

still cutting
Two combined
Two balers
Two corn carting
Big heaps all over the shed
Drying like mad
It’s bedlam here. Lol

thats fine...lots of ppl tell porkies anyway :p

not me !!!
I know this is one snapshot of one moment in time but the meter read above 4 t on loads of places in the fields and not much with a 2 ....
I think because we are on heavy clay it retained moisture during the drought
And the secondary growth was farmed and we have waited til it’s ripe

That's a brilliant result.
Our early drilled stuff has done really well. The February stuff abysmal. Luckily there wasn't to much of it.

is your yield metre working properly? how are you managing to get 4.6t/acre from spring barley? is it after grass?
That’s only spot rate🙄, only did 3.5t average😂. This year it’s been luck of the draw I think although I do ave ground that will consistently do 3-3.5t of spring barley and 4t of winter barley. Biggest problem is keeping it standing and travelling if it comes wet! Moisture isn’t a problem even in a dry year it’s only a problem in a wet year!

With land like that he should be growing spuds @Bossfarmer .......👍😉

Maybe not potatoes, but indicates not plant the headlands. A point shown up by ADAS Boxworth when research undertaken in response to the introduction of compulsory set aside in 1992. The outside 12 - 24 metres of a field loses all the profit generated by the middle of the field..
