[APJ]

Let’s start a harvest 23 thread! So how far do we all think we are from starting? Winter barley rapidly ripening here early start is on the cards. First week of july maybe, rape just starting to lose its greenness also!

Earliest we’ve been is the 6th, normal anything from the 12th onwards for winter barley.

2nd week of July looking how things are going off here.

Probably start whole-crop rye in the next 10 days, winter barley at least 2-3 weeks off depending on if it comes hot again.
Started cut winter barley on the 30th of June back in 2018 but won’t be that early this year thankfully.
