We need it , can't dry 25% or worse wheat in todays climate.it's financial suicide.

Tbh David I'm getting tired of cutting wheat in september , and we're off somewhere to warm up

You'll miss the harvest moon!

 

[DrWazzock]

If it's weed infested I'll use it but otherwise I have always found enough dry days (or nights). But we are in the dry east with small acreage and big combine.

I'm going down the same route , glypho is better than nuclear imo. that big red thing in the sky is about as much use a chocolate fireguard.

No hope !!

There you go , we need wheat off by the end of august ideally , this farm grows grass for fun late harvests aren't helpful.

Tbh David I'm getting tired of cutting wheat in september , and we're off somewhere to warm up

then grow early varietys the spread of maturity is very wide from the earliest galant grafton to the latest couger ect
on moisture retentive deep soil the spread is 2 weeks on light land it may be only 3 days and in a dry year non at all

imho on a deep late soil the early variety costs 5% less in overall cost

I had a look at my wheats today belepi is ready now and jb deago is a week to 10 days away, it's grain is hard and it rubs out easily but the straws still a little green.

Deago also has a better sample,

Belepi no where near as good

They're both in the same field, I ran short so drilled belepi on a headland.

Skyfall.

Good bushel 80kg but indifferent protein 12% which is very disappointing.

I'm happy with the yield, it's above our average.

How much nitrogen did it have? I think we will drop
Skyfall as its very hit and miss protein wise.

 

[Clive]

Just been to have a look around crops - Skyfall is a long way off here still

 

[Wombat]

That looks well, ours is much further on than normal but looks ok

If only you had central storage with @Woldgrain you wouldn't have a problem......

 

[Grain Buyer]

Or 55kg barley for that matter

 

[Flat 10]

Or 55kg barley for that matter

So their deductions would be a lot less would they?!
