Sun and breezy day now

I’ve a field of stood wheat, partially laid barley, properly laid barley and rape next to the farm

I’ll go and do a lap with the combine this afternoon and attempt to achieve something

Hopefully not a blocked combine!!!
Good luck

[Bobthebuilder]

Woohoo finally got the OSR finished, now to pull the header to bits, clean combine out and try n get the 100ac barley done

Anyone grown/harvested “PEAOLA”
this harvest? Was it successful with all the recent rain/storms to test its standing ability?

There's a thread in the dark corner known as the DD section about Peola...

Started spring barley today concerto doing around 2.7t acre, 2.5 hesstons to the acre, baling behind combine due to irresponsible use of liquid sunshine.
