Harvest date prediction?

[Sonoftheheir]

Was looking to start on WB mid next wk (end Oct drilled) but forecast looks poor for a fortnight now

WW 2-3 wks off.

First for here will be spring barley and wheat then beans followed by soya . Recon will be starting in a couple of weeks .

This hot dry weather is dragging stuff forward, I’m guessing Extase could be ready by the end of the second week in august on this farm.

Extase going off quick here too - probably need harvesting before we finish the oats, which will be extremely annoying.

 

[teslacoils]

Is that when its ripe or when you normal get around to cut it.

Ripe. But it's never properly ready until the last few days of August or early September.

Still, there's always the local hero who will be leaving stubble so green you could graze it.

I would give it up as a bad job if I coundt Start until the end of August, we start early August and drilling osr soon after .

Seen several bits of wheat cut this morning on the way into town, but it turned cloudy and cooler last night, so we'll see.

My neighbour told me that the contractor's Lexion that comes to him has 600 ha of wheat in front of him this year!

(Why is it that virtually everybody who posts here has Lexion? Have JD & NH vanished off the face of the earth? Surely someone has got a great big sooper-dooper Fendt?)

From being just towards cheesy ripe, the wheat now has distinct grains. Very exciting.

Massive yield. Be patient.

Sounds like the late harvest club has another member lol

I find a late harvest does not mean a big yield

 

[teslacoils]

Ok. Be patient to avoid a hot heap of steaming green barley.

Dont know that massive is the right terminology but a few days later usually means more t/acre on my patch however those cutting earlier than me are usually in the t/ha club

 

[Good stuff]

I think they is to many variables to say a late harvest is a good thing for yields .

Or just harvest a crop when it's ready

there is a big difference between early and ripe and later and ripe ,note im saying later not late
