Mine looks really well, 1 less spray than Kerrin. Hoping it does well as would like to save some for seed.

So the general consensus had been strong WB yields? Thatll put some pressure on the feed barley job

Have most people been cutting wheat all week . We have had rain most days for 11 days now. Cut a field a week last Wednesday and combine not moved since. south Leeds area.

We haven't started yet, Darlington and don't think anyone around us have, drove down to London last week and there didn't seem to be a lot cut.
Droughty McDroughtface all summer, yet record breaking yields of both grain and straw ?
Something doesn't add up.

I'll let you know for me. Only cut OSR and that was pretty much bang average. Which was all I really expected, the joys of a higher seed rate, knowing you won't get the yields but more likely to get a crop and better weed control.
Nothing done here. Only just getting ready and there’s been rain on and off .
My son in Hampshire finished wheat on Friday and was into spring barley over the weekend . We were there and it was very hot on Friday and Saturday . Getting very good yields 10/12 T of wheat and 8/10 of spring barley

Uk, as a whole, performs better with less rain and more sun.
Nothing cut here. Locally a small bit of wheat. But not a lot. Expect next week will be better.

Interesting, thats a feed wheat isn't it?
Farm saved Gleam as a first wheat has stormed it for us, i'm almost embarrassed to say what its yielding in case I end up misquoted in the FW....
But then Zyatt hasn't been that far behind if it makes spec. So maybe its just a vintage year for first wheats which isn't going to teach us much about varieties?

Don't know if this is helpful, but just finished 2022 harvest. 520ha of winter wheat. Half wheat after fallow after OSR. Half wheat after fallow after wheat. Had to stop for more time due to grain being too dry. Didn't cut a single tonne over 15%. Could have cut 24 hours a day for a lot of it with almost zero dew. Getting outputs at midnight pretty much the same as middle of the day (just swapping sieve losses for rotor losses). Mixture of Zyatt, Extase and Gleam. Chalky boulder clay. Average yield from NH yield meter, which is normally pretty accurate (calibrated a few loads over a weighbridge today to improve accuracy) is 9.57 t/ha +/- 3% average over the whole lot. Didn't cut N rates and an expensive fungicide programme. Yield better than expected. Range 7-11t/ha. Meadow ground was ace, some fields that are poorly drained and historically poor dragging things down. Thinner crops didn't yield as bad as expected. HLWs v good. Early signs of protein are bad. Crazy year. Same harvest start and finish as 1976. With land almost too dry to cultivate and mole, wondering what to do all of August and September.

Done a test trailer Saturday
77 kg bushel. 8.97 protein
Yields descent
going to be a shortage of protein in wheat
