Wish mine was, had rain all week so another week gone without turning a wheel! Hopefully be back on it tomorrow and finish spring barley.
Down to spring wheat, beans, spring rape and canary seed then (not necessarily in that order though).

Good week next week after a bit of damp on Sunday ...

Finished tonight also in some late sown 1st wheat after grass

It's been a challenging year

Beans finished yesterday, the only crop I’ve cut that will need to be dried this year. It’s been a long drawn out harvest this year. Now to sit on my hands and wait till October to start drilling.

Ha, ha!

 

[Phil P]

Finished the flat spring barley

Finished last field of spring barley ?

Then into spring wheat

Pretty productive day for a change ?

 

[its.... only me]

Done that & would be done now......... if I hadn’t forgot about the 8 acre in two fields in next parish, that was a result of yet more failed osr. Still they look better than the osr that we left, which ended up being mowed & baled.
Should be ready next week end

Harvest 2019 draws to a close for us

Finished my linseed yesterday having done it over 2 afternoons so harvest finished for me.
Looking around yesterday in sprayer, surprised to see about 50 ac of wheat still to cut 16 miles from me but combine in field. . See a couple farms have spring beans to do also. We are having nice hot days but heavy dews so will all be done and dusted next couple days.

 

[Tompkins]

Finished Beans yesterday. Got 5 acres of poor rape to clear up, either with the combine or the topper, so for all o tents and purposes, I'm done!

As a matter of interest, Oscar, did you manage to get your own m/c going well again or did your co-conspirator stay on to clean your own last few bits up for you?

 

[Oscar]

@bankrupt , no insurance got up to 27k to repair header(also bent elevator housing ) so thinking a write off but came back on Friday to say they are going to repair now. Used a straw Walker machine for the linseed which firm own , boss man drove fri PM and I finished it off yesterday .

 

[bankrupt]

@bankrupt came back on Friday to say they are going to repair now.

It's very good to see you've that assurance, Oscar.

And let's all hope you will have a bit more luck all next season.

Nevertheless, we're still intending to start well before you in 2020, given our far more feeble soil types.

So, it's to be starting the harvesting here the 10th July again, folks, (at the very latest).

 

[Phil P]

Spring wheat finished so made a start on 60ac of canary seed seed yesterday, dew stopped us at 8pm with only 8ac left!

Heavy dew this morning and fog so not much chance of an early start?, need to turn them big fans on and blow it away ?

 

[czechmate]

Finally able to finish

Did she ever do these before @l’ordinary bonville

 

[Flat 10]

Are sunflowers worth much? What’s budgeted yield?

 

[czechmate]

It hasn’t rained since the beginning of June and been scorchingly hot for a lot of that time, so not a good year for crops like sunflowers. I just managed to top 2 tonnes per ha which apparently is very good for this year. These were after long term grass, so that may have helped. Worth about €300/t so not very exciting

What’s that?

Guess not then[emoji23]

 

[Phil P]

Finished my the last 8 acres of canary seed off just after dinner then moved into spring rape.

Despite a minor breakdown (the knife arm fell off the wobble box! Got welded on as a temporary fix?) managed to knock 40ac off. So hopefully into beans tomorrow then finished?

2019 Harvest, Done The zyatt is not so bold that it would go though the seed cleaning sieves, the yields all round where poor and I am not struggling to find space to tip the last load of beans. Let’s hope next years crop is better

 

[farmerm]

And what an evening to finish!
