Harvest 2019

[Barleymow]

finished this evening tundra beans last to cut

Tbh I made a bad choice. I decided to stay at home to get a block of wheat done for central store, then into feed wheat which needed to be 16 percent or below. Easy, as was 15 last night. Showers meant a 3pn start and the stuff didn't get below 17.5

We could have moved farms and got 100ac cut and on a drying floor. Kicking myself, but sick if having everyone else's wheat but mine started.

With weather like this it’s almost impossible to know if you’re doing the right thing!

Finally finished the worst crop of rape i have ever grown this evening. At least the fields look clean again for the first time in months. Almost didn't get done when i had a car fly around a blind bend and hit the header trailer on the road. Lucky it only hit the trailer and did no damage to the header unlike his car.

Well finally got into wheat. Grafton 2nd wheat, got down to 20% by 6 tonight just a couple of loads to keep my kerosene supplier happy and hopefully make a start towards getting some more OSR land ready. Barley stubbled planted today, certainly not lacking moisture but went in well although the severe stripping of the volunteer Barley is a worry

120ac milling wheat done today - late start but cut dry (dusty even)

Looks like that might be it until next week now - wash out tomorrow and weekend looks likely

Got 105 acres of Tundra beans done today. They were a tad dusty!

Had another look for a big crop, but yet again failed. 8t/ha was all this field managed. The next field is struggling to make it to 7t/ha. 10 years of HLS grass is proving an expensive challenge to sort out [emoji848]

Hoping the other farm does a bit better [emoji51]

 

[Tompkins]

Finished the spring barley, home to bed for me and the old girl. Just 800 acres to go[emoji45]

Finished a block of wheat at 2 this morning, in between did some spring barley for a neighbour which was flat and had a breakdown for 2 hours on the header! Left hand retractable fingers shaft popped out its bearing.
Wheat is yielding well, just hope the proteins are there.

Finally got into the wheat yesterday , Zyatt , started at 1.30 with the moisture at 18.3, which dropped to 16.5 by 6.
Rain again this morning, so back to square one.

Started our wheat yesterday.
Kept going till late (for us!)
Neighbours gave up on their flat oats at 8pm. 2 big rotary NH weren't enjoying it I suspect.

First wheat I've been in this year.
Went cutting for a customer
Nice to be in a standing crop!
There wasn't a great deal of it, managed to bash off an 18ac field in about 5 hours, carried on cutting well past the dew because today's forecast is dodgy.

At least you've got going again.

Not cut anything since last Thursday now so not a happy bunny at the moment. Wheat at 27% yesterday and it’s rained most the night and raining again now. No sign of a break in the forecast either! Starting to feel like 2012/17 again

Could do with big crops to go with the big bills though

Plenty of time to make that grain pusher!

 

[Norfolk Olly]

Pushed on late to get block finished, didn’t expect to be going this morning, not sure for how long though, currently 16.2%. If the forecast is correct I can’t see us doing anything till next week

 

[lloyd]

How much is being chopped now that previously to this
dodgy weather might have been baled?
Weather events seem to balance things out in the end!

You need a huge straw walker. Rotary a bit bobbins in unfit crop. Better in a fortnight.

Just need more output of any type in a catchy year. I’ve already got a big walker combine but not enough suitable days.
