Harvest date prediction?

[APJ]

At least it’s all standing this year. For now at any rate .

Standing so far, also we are streets ahead of last yr by actually having a good acreage of winter crops not just all spring barley!!

Started today actually [emoji108]View attachment 969287

For real???

 

[thameslade]

August for sure in this part of Scotland and wheat in September if we’re lucky!

Well what tends to happen it It will be ready 16th July, it will start raining on the 15th and will do so every day for about 3-4 weeks, what has not fallen out will get harvested about 15th of August at 17%...

For real???

no we will be 12-15 th July probably, but I bet it made the neighbours rush out to see if there’s will go today

Here in the middle of France combines would normally be rolling next week, but it's been a funny old season with just 21mm of rain in April, then a cold wet May [69mm]. The first week of June saw 20 mm followed by a week of scorching heat. Finally thunderstorms and 67 mm in the last 7 days, so there is now quite a bit of flat wheat and I don't see much chance of anything until the end of the month. As my old Dorset neighbour once remarked, "I ain't never knowed a time like it."

Here in northern Italy barley harvest would normally have started 3 weeks ago, but this year I saw the first combine only yesterday. Wheat is now getting ready fast under this 35°+ heat.
Quite a late year everywhere it seems.

I think we will start in 2 to 3 weeks here (Suffolk) on Hybrid feed barley drilled 14th Sept.

Some round here on light land is turning but still a long off, ours is green as grass still, will in August for sure.

Same here.

Starting 10th July probably, same as last year, but with at least double the straw yields - as to grain yields, have to wait and see.

I have a field of winter barley that’s full of may weed and it’s right on a main road (not even a hedge round it) starting to get sick of looking the bloody stuff so may spray it off next week. So think I’ll be starting in about a fortnight

 

[APJ]

Looking how quick it’s changing I think we will be ready to go 10/12 July weather depending.

 

[Rob g]

In Dorset look like 11th/15th of July for Winter Barley as a third cereal. looking forward to it.

 

[Jerry]

Had this yesterday afternoon…..did not want to go look at crops as thought they’d be flat on the

deck but still stood thankfully!!

 

[DRC]

I think it’ll be a late start here. Barley Is still very green. Could even be August unless we get a really hot spell soon.

 

[teslacoils]

Let's get the weekend out of the way first. Typical UK. A hint of heat and it's thunder warnings.

 

[Wombat]

Certainly needs to get warmer and give the last spring barley and spring wheat a move on to get their ears out

 

[bankrupt]

I think it’ll be a late start here.

Very mixed bag here.

The shale, which was in full ear and dying back before the drought broke, will go next week but the clay, which utilised the rain much better, is three weeks later and more than double the crop.

And some of each in every field.

 

[APJ]

Sensation barley on the gravels is turning quickly, not long to go now.

Here in the middle of France, just driving along, it looks as though OSR is ready and the winter barley is well necked over BUT it won't stop raining. 87 mm since 17th, and rain on 10 out of the last 14 days. Some flat wheat and its all starting to turn a nasty dark brown colour. No doubt Macron will say its all the fault of the Brits for leaving...........
