[Rookie]

Everyone's on rape here at the moment - Won't be much left in the morning.View attachment 975396

What are yields like ?
Can you still use neonicotinoid seed dressing ?

 

[Oliveau]

We’re off….in some less than average barley. Bits are ok by the cold April buggered it a bit.

This heat is really making the wheat shift now.

Reckon we'll be another two weeks here afore WW is ready, plenty of green. Not seen many going around here, a friend got into some WB yesterday but has now stopped as not fit.
SB is certainly on the move here mind but again 3/4 weeks away yet.
I did think to start a "Not Combining yet" thread!!! It seems alien not to be this time of year with this glorious weather

 

[teslacoils]

Yes. There's ready, and there's properly ready. There's a lot of green, which is good as I chucked a lot of T3 on. But these last four days has moved some on lighter land a proper bit.

 

[Wombat]

This last week of 20+ has really moved stuff on which is nice, I like August harvests.

Spring barley and winter wheat 3-4 weeks away, rest of spring barley 6 weeks spring wheat god knows when

 

[DRC]

All barley done locally I’d say . A lot of rape still green or only just getting sprayed . early varieties of wheat on lighter ground is altering fast

My neighbour reckons about 2.5 t which for our region he reckons is quite good. Winter barley also above average. Mind you, they get excited here if wheat exceeds 7t.
Neonics are out as are a lot of other products, which is why cereal crops are so much dirtier than they used to be. Neighbour complains that UK farmers still have a wider range of chemicals than he is now allowed to use.

Oats here fit the weekend - let's hope they weigh a bit heavier than the barley.

Oats about fit here too but looks like rain will stop play.

 

[teslacoils]

Still got 90 percent of the flag leaf dark green so it's going be a while.

 

[Phil P]

Nothing else ready now for a week-10 days depending on the weather. Harvest has been a pleasure up to now I just hope it continues like this!
Couple of pics.

Poor you that's going to be late , what you growing .

Graham and gleam wheat. Mid October drilled. I've only 100ac. Next year's wheat is all after grass, with half the wheat going into ab6 fallow, and the other spring barley so no rush. Will all get roundup pre harvest.

Wouldn’t say that was late, pretty normal for heavy land round here is August bank holiday start on wheat

 

[teslacoils]

Graham about a week ahead. Will look at the roundup need in a fortnight. Ideally I'd like the Graham and a little field of wheat that's going in with grass cut by end August.

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

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.

My Saki is looking about like that as well, might beat the bit of skyfall I had left over from 2019 in the middle of another field.
