No cutting here today. 2mm. of rain over night, no drying wind today, & the air was damp enough last night. So decided to treat myself to some coloured spanners & sockets for combine toolbox. No more guessing for me........... if only I could remember which colour was what size

Guaranteed to dry up if I made the move, and rain when I get back!!!
We were very lucky , as apart from a few spots, it missed me as I was combining oats. It rained back at the yard.Moved Into the wheat this morningView attachment 828856
Rain now
Looks like it's heading your way @silverfox
Finished the oats at last , and been on wheat until now. Balers came and did some straw as well, so had some luck for a change.
Sorry your still having trouble. Nothing more annoying, as I found out in the barley .

finished triticale this afternoon/evening and called it a day will have a go at some wheat tomorrow if its not rained, most is flat and will be damp but atm I've 60 tonnes of musty triticale spread on the drying floor at about 3 foot deep .
Good to hear, In my frustration I'd written the day off, but after milking it had blown up really well so popped a did a couple of trailer loads. Catch it when you can.. Forecast looks very good for weekend, not sure we can trust it though..
I’ve got to tread carefully at the weekend. Family wedding on Saturday at Great Ness, with family coming from all over, even Australia. So no combining that day. Then there’s an after wedding bbq on the Sunday for family, and it’s my wife’s birthday. Would you risk going combining on Sunday ?

Had a good day in WW, started after lunch at 15.5% and it soon dropped below 15% for the first time this season, into the last field of WW and it was down to 13.2%, just knocked off with 16 acres to do tomorrow, then on to some SW (if fit) or 80 acres of SB.
