Harvest 2019

[farmerm]

should be combining WB here at the weekend, but the forecast suggests otherwise

A number of missed opportunities in aggregate do make the difference between profit and loss IMO. And that's the difference between us all having jobs or not. I missed a spray timing in spring barley which at best guess will have cost 20k in lost yield. We'll rest when we've finished in good time and then we can properly relax. As it is we've had rain which made the decision about a lie in for me.

which spray?

its early days yet but im getting the vibe that wb yields are good but not the record breakers that a lot thought they maybe would be , at todays prices they need to be astronomical !!

There are some proper old school farmers in the USA. I loved working in the US and their attitude towards farming was great.

Osr sprayed today so 3 weeks time. Winter barley is still 2 weeks off I would think
