Harvest 2023

[Wombat]

Got no rain here.

Thank feck, been two nice days

Crap yields so not so much to dry, and not so much money lost not selling forward

Like your thinking. I think

 

[teslacoils]

Much of the barley has necked over these last two days. Ten days maybe if I want to dry some greens. 17 days for it to be right and bale behind.

started on 6 row hybrid barley yesterday. About 15/16%. Getting it cut while it’s all off the floor. Nothing worse than heads dropping on the floor. It’s starting to Brattle over and weather not looking good next week. Not weighed anything yet but id say average yield For us 3.5/3.7t/ac

Barley grains look a bit thin here.

Sprayed our winter barley off on Monday. A mix of dead fit necked over “normal” crop and then greenish heads in last years wheat chaff trails were it was a thin stand plus green volunteer wheat. I’d say it will need another fortnight to dry all that rubbish up. Doesn’t want a lot of wind and rain or the fit stuff will be on the floor. One of those years when I’ll be glad to get the crops tidied up.

About 61 bushel here. Hope it goes up a little when it’s been through the drier

About half an inch in north Kent … enough to flatten my neighbour’s spring barley

Heard of 3 going in barley today in Warwickshire. All saying bushel weights aren’t the best.

At least you didn’t use the word ‘disappointing’ 3.7t/ac!

If I had ever had 3.7t/ac of barley I would have written to the government, asking that they consider celebrating the event by declaring a national holiday.

The foraging lads where here handy this morning to whole crop the rye

And made a start in the winter barley (Tardis)

Some good spot rates but will probably only do about 3.2t average. A blocked main drain hasn’t helped on part of the field!

Claas yield meters doing what claas yield meters do best.

We have a Weighbridge to check it against so no guestamation involved. If you take the the time to calibrate them properly it can be fairly accurate.
