Barley harvest started.

Hmm not really I'm afraid, didn't test moisture or bushel, it's all going for feeding at home. Shan't bother to calibrate the yield meter. Based off last year's calibration, it's doing approx 7t/ha on quite sandy ground that has had plenty of muck. Which might explain why most of it is on the floor after a weekend of wind about 5 weeks ago. Although I have a suspicion the wider strip till rows also play a part in that.
The dry weather might affect germination for home saving?
A good sample.
Have a field split between Funky and Bazooka which might be interesting.

Yep
Thou straw would be the most important followed by standing power and then grain.

So you have weighed ALL the previous years straw that you have sold then or was the weight of those bales also just a guess??
Also baler could be set differently..............
I suppose you just sell the grain by the trailer load and don't weigh each and every load??

What bit I do sell has gone over the weighbridge, as there’s on literally a mile down the road. Then if the same person has a second load from the same batch, we often agree to use the same weight.So you have weighed ALL the previous years straw that you have sold then or was the weight of those bales also just a guess??

Most of my straw goes to the pig farm in a muck swap or gets used here.
You really do need to stop obsessing about these things and get a life .
And you expect everyone to answer all your questions , but never reply to questions asked of you, like me asking you last week if you’d bought your straw at auction this year, or me sending you a conciliatory pm when you were getting your knickers in a twist the other night. No reply to either.
Classless as well as clueless !

Has anyone loaded a lorry and drag and had a weighvridge ticket?
I would guess that volume of straw in bales would be on a par as usual but given it's dry weights would be lower than usual?

Ok. Brash land in a dry year was never going to be great. Cut it on the 20th of July last year so only a week earlier.

Seeing as the trailers were passing our weighbridge on the way to the straw shed we weighed them all
1.78 t / acre bit better than last year
Do I need to calculate the amount of net wrap round them and knock the weight of it off for the more picky members ?

Euston were cutting wheat down the road from us earlier today. Do not think I have ever known wheat cut this early

So then you haven't a clue if this years barley straw averaged 2 tonnes an acre because you haven't weighed any bales and are just going on previous years weights!
Oh and why would I ( or anyone else for that matter ) reply to a PM from someone who has spent the last few months trolling/ bullying them on TFF like you have been doing??
And no offence intended but I really think its you that need to stop obsessing with things and get a life given the way you keep on trolling me.
Sad that in every post silverfox you have to resort to personal insults.

Does it really matter . I know what my straws done.
You’re deluded if you think I’ve any interest in trolling you .

So, once again, you accuse people of ‘bullying’ you, whilst rounding on them at every opportunity?
Take a step back and re-read some of your posts. Some of them don’t reflect well on you, IMHO of course (& no, i’m Not bullying you, before you suggest it again.....)

Barley got down 10 % yesterday afternoon so knocked it on the head hoping that it might be a tad damper this morning , turned the key on the combine at 6.30 this morning and it's up to 17.5 % and was cutting well although to high losses , so just having a cup of tea and will head back to field and hope it's 16.5 %
