    Grain yields 2022

    Thought it would be a good idea now that harvest 2022 is well underway to have a thread with grain yields/ variety of Barley/ Wheat etc all in one place. So how are your crops yielding for 2022?

    Is this the best haymaking time in your memory ?

    I have been making hay and haylage from the 1970s and can't remember an easier year than the present one. I realise it might not be everywhere in the UK . Has it been that way for you?
