Getting concerned part 2

[farmerfred86]

Also a Claydon hoe appeared recently in the yard.

I think there will be one here within 2/3 years...

Got going in barley again today and I was very surprised how well the ground travelled. Biggest problem was the cart across a grass bank that isn't traveling quite so well. No full trailers here for a bit.

What moisture did you get down to Chris , we are struggling to get below 17%

Tried to start bit of barley yesterday....flat crops and damp soil don’t mix! Gave it up as a bad job.
Decided to skip that and get the standing crop cut first, even if the rooks are having a field day.

Moisture was coming in at 14.1%.

 

[They see me rolling]

Was planning on avadex, c max then I think carbetamide you are allowed to use also if needed?

1-25th September, don't go too early otherwise you will need more PGR and Linseed is not vernalised, have seen August planted linseed flowering at Christmas.

Very surprised when it dropped to 13.5% by 6.30pm but didn't last long and was soon back to 16% as i finished about 8pm.

Started ripe Costello wheat this morning at 20% moisture. Down to 17% now.

Nearly half way through harvest now

Just noticed your location - have you moved?

Just noticed your location - have you moved?

Yes, from Dorset to near the southern frontier of County Durham. My old place finished harvest last weekend.

Still on Spring Wheat, coming in at 14-14.5%, a joy to not have to dry it for a change! With a good day tomorrow I should finish if I can beat the rain, will start cutting asap in the morning.

Cut so winter wheat for a neighbour today. Went in wet with a combi drill and struggled all year. Did about 3 ton/ac, was 16% moisture at 2pm and down to 15% as i finished about 5.30pm. Go home and into my triticale which is a joy to combine compared to the barley I've been on. Yield is around the 2.5t/ac in the first field but I think I was a bit mean on the seed rate in here. Second field looks better.

There are some robust chemical suggestions for Winter linseed; a crop that most who have grown it seem to agree, gives a good margin only to Premium Crops?

Does winter linseed mature before spring linseed?

I’ll give you 3 guesses and the first 2 don’t count.......
I’m wondering if any winter crop matures after its spring equivalent given normal sowing times. Can’t think of one.

My spring oats will be cut before the winters...but were sown immediately before the springs in late March so I guess that doesn’t count.
