Well, Combine just about ready to go now but still a few bits around the yard to sort and the overnight rain has dampened the field I was going to start in. May go and nibble a bit off tomorrow afternoon just to make sure everything runs smoothly but not panicking.

Made a start this evening . 15% round headlands. 6 row kings barn. From our very basic bushes meter it says 64, most years 60 at best so pleased with that. stubble and straw has a slight pink tinge so a bit of potash left in it. not done enough yet to get an accurate yield, but in a bad year can get 3 runs in a tank full, an exception year 2 runs, and today we were getting 2 and a half’ish.

Will cut the barley this week rape getting close to spraying off and what looked a fantastic crop of wheat is now dying with lack of moisure and this on what i would say is heavy land and forecast to get even hotter grass is also taking hsrm now going to have to put buffer feed out for the cattle

Wise father. Did he say "it'll thresh better after its died a second time"?
He didn’t, we generally just get on with it when it’s ready, but we’ve just come of the back of a 5 week clean down of the poultry sheds and now everyone’s trying to fit holiday in. Only 2 out of 4 of us here next week, will have to rope brother in for a bit of grain cart I think.
