That red piece top right looks perfect!

 

[Phil P]

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!

Unless the forecast changes significantly the chopper will be going in for the rest of mine. Not sure what customers will do but with the current price of straw it’s not worth messing with!

Got something even better lined up


Ps, I’ll keep the pusher thread updated

My wheat is barely ready
Last field of rape is barely ready
W barley is rotten laid and too wet to harvest.

Still at it this morning, but probably not for much longer!

Narrator: It did not last.

Forecast changing here .
Think we're only going to get light rain hopefully.
Good old weather forecasters

Perhaps it's to put on the end of a big swing shovel

Combine not moved for 15 days, only done WBarley and OSR. Getting lots of forecast rain but also on the odd day which is meant to be fine ie Monday night ( had 3mm ,none forcast). We ve had 40mm ish last two weeks.
Not overly bothered at moment as everything is stood but some S Barley I may end up cutting is starting to fall down.
Worse thing is that wife has taken a bit of time off work and announced this morning that the kitchen and a bedroom needs decorating and as I can t go combining , I might as well do that instead!!! It's not so bad once I get into it but painting is not my faviout job but I m struggling to find an excuse !

Same here, Oscar, except for 10mm Monday night and 89mm in the last 15 days.

And tomorrow's meant to be fine, so you'll have to cancel the paint job.

Lots of wind and sun this am so decided at lunch time to get going again at 3.00pm, and to hell with all the moistures.

Rained again at 2.30, 3.30, 4.30 and 5.30.

And safely in the pub again by 6.00.

Cheers! (6X)

Nearly 1.5inches today. Land also needed to drain now. Just been to Sleaford and fields flooded along Boston Road. Looks like next week now before considering going.

shifted combine 20miles to other farm last night 7pm after getting rained off AGAIN with @5ac osr to cut, started a 40ac field of osr stopped at half1 then got it finished by lunch time today, took a couple of loads to silos, 12.1 and 12.4% moisture but 37% sprouted after a few phone calls they took it, got rained off up their again before starting the winter oats and was tempted to shift back and finish osr at home as dry when i got home but rained again just as we were trying to make our minds up so the decision was made for us
