Yes - the only way I can get a half decent sample is by crawling across the field. Any suggestions gratefully received! (New Holland with threshing drum)

We've some sprayed off 8 days ago.
Boss is leaping around wanting to cut it because he reckons moisture will be too low.
Stems are still green though, lucky it's raining today and tomorrow

Heard that a lot of WB straw wasn’t really fit before harvesting. Grain bone dry and Rick hard but stems still green. Where does the moisture go that’s in the stem?

No, very good sample here
Everything is nicely fit ( finished yesterday ) and the combine is going well at 5.5-6 kph
Delivering to local store and there’s some dirty loads being tipped
Best OSR year for 4 years !!

The only photo of the sample I have is when I’d discovered my Harvest help had missed the Grain bucket was in the store before he tipped 
At least you spotted the bucket before it got completely buried.The only photo of the sample I have is when I’d discovered my Harvest help had missed the Grain bucket was in the store before he tipped

Had to find the bucket to be able to load itthat wont hep the ad mix if you get it in the sample
Had the same problem Saturday, also not sprayed off, seed 7% couldn’t get the stalks through the chopper and kept bunging the walkers as it backed up. Had to lay the straw out to get anything done. Didn’t go today as a family health issue called me away, but now wondering how much of it will be on the floor tomorrow after the wind we’ve had today
