. Only a couple of weeks ago you reckon it might be August before starting.

I know, can’t believe how quick it changed from being very green. These last few days of very hot weather have really finished it off. Even the green ones in the tramlines.
farming can be pleasurable if the weather plays ball.

Were just down the road silver fox and would agree the barley has altered unbelievably in a week around here similar yields to others with the bonus of been 13% cold air through the drier is so much cheaper than filling calor gas’s pocket .

Combines were rolling in Winter Barley in Devon today!

Going very slow due to the massive bout of straw behind the combine let alone the large amount of grain going into the tank!

Looking at the swaths tonight as i drove past the field the straw yield will be circa 2 tonne acre at least!

Just tested some I did yesterday . 11.7%
Merchants should pay us more for anything below 15%

Perhaps his acceptable losses are higher than yours.

Are we talking about harvesting losses, or £££?!

Out of interest are a lot of you guys just growing the WB so you can get stubble turnips after and build soil OM? As spring barley is more profitable

Mines rotten ripe. About 15%. Bloody wheat voulenteers sprayed off and refusing to dry off. Hoping to go later in week

Maybe this is not the info we should be shouting about, given the rage over mass balance, and the spies on here?

I think we should all be working together to under report our crop yields.

Good idea, then the traders don't get export sales on the books and we have depressed prices later into the season and rolls over to crop 22.

Just look what happened with barley, everyone knew they had lots of barley so they shipped it all out and rammed it into animal rations and then it got really tight at the end of the year
