Extase potential problems

[robbie]

Well eventually got round to loading out the extase yesterday and today, @38ac, 192t loaded out average 16% moisture so not too bad I would think, went into the biscuit bin

Not too bad!!!!! Kin'ell what do you want???????

Exactly what I was thinking.

Deductions?
Price?

Don’t have that info yet, just went into store yesterday and today, paperwork won’t be back till midweek I would think, price will depend on what pool it gets sold in

It will need dried

 

[Bobthebuilder]

It will need dried

I didn’t say it didn’t

 

[bobk]

It will need dried

It will all need drying this year

 

[Renaultman]

It will all need drying this year

2 weeks sunshine coming, patience required, shame I haven't got any

 

[Wombat]

It will all need drying this year

We haven't been over 16% this last week

 

[bobk]

2 weeks sunshine coming, patience required, shame I haven't got any

Me neither

 

[Renaultman]

We haven't been over 16% this last week

I check mine on the combine 16 - 17% get it out of the wet store to dry 17.5 - 18 %

Haven't started here

Every trailer goes into commercial store so i know every load and weight and moisture and none have been over 16 so far

I don't think I've had a load below, which looking at next week's forecast is, I must confess, silly

Me neither , but I'm not bothered because I'll need all next week and more to get finished.

Next week dry, but not very warm wasn’t it

I have a 4ha block of extase within 12ha of zyatt, intending to save for seed. Not combined yet but have rubbed out some ears - looks very disappointing. Zyatt top - Extase bottom, Extase looked clean healthy thick crop all the way through. Bought seed in.

 

[Grass And Grain]

8.5T/Ha!!
Our average so far is less than that. Over 1 t/ha down on last year, which was not exactly vintage.
Mind you the way some of it was established I shouldn't grumble.

Seems to be quite a lot of yield variability for different areas, presumably weather conditions in those localities. Just annoying if you happen to be in one of those affected areas (particularly in a decent price year), and not management related - simply the weather conditions.

Somewhat different, but a friend of mine who farms just above sea level direct drilled wheat last autumn, had a wet winter on it, yielded 1.5t/acre.

I have been noticing how poor the brambles are this year, they must have been frosted in may
