Harvest reports?

[Brisel]

If you drop the returns are they full of chaff? Could try upping the fan. Otherwise

Returns are full of heavy bits of straw and unthreshed heads. Increasing fan speed above 1150 rpm just blows the clean grain out of the back. Thanks anyway.

Dear Sir/Madam

Whilst I admire and respect your valued opinion ...









Go forth and multiply!

What's the hurry its not like you have a lot to do

yes its a shitter of a barley harvest, just mix 2% of wheat with it and a bit of sand, that will at least bolster the bushel.

 

[richard hammond]

Glad its not just us having problems we've tried everything but we still have part thrashed ears on the straw, I think it's just that the grain is so blood thin it just won't rub out.

Only asking it may be dry but is it fit? most in Lincs is dry but not ready!

Sounds like you need a vintage combine not this modern rubbish.

This is what i think. a few years back everyone locally was harvesting barley and blocking drums even though it was technically dry it wouldn't thrash. Anyway a week later after some rain it was basically ripe.

Yes, look at the bottom of the plant not just the top bit.

Straw looks way fitter at the moment than in previous years. Even on headlands next to woods there is very little green. That said, when you pick it up it doesn't quite feel fully fit though. Combine is noticeably going better today than yesterday.

Just finished our osr a disaster by our standards campus did 1.5 but charger did only 1.2 so disappointed with it. I think after looking at the stubbles csfb have had the last laugh I thought we had got through it but half of the bits of stubble you can pull out easy and it's clear their completely dead and probably died a month back. Inside u can see where maggots have moved around and cut off supply to the plant hence death. The plants that made it and yielded some thing still had a hit but managed to keep the outer stem green to transfer nutrients. This is all I think it is but would schlerotinia look similar?
I think lack of sun and other disease has just compounded the problem.

This mirrors what I am finding, rape is doing 1.3t/a and csfb is definitely the culprit. The heap in the barn is literally moving with beetles , I have never seen anything like it and glad I am not planting any this Autumn .

We have got much lower levels in the shed this year by a mile maybe 75% less ! Very strange they must have eaten all my osr and buggered off

 

[snarling bee]

Ditto Ditto Ditto

Crap OSR yields
Less beetles in the shed
Glad I'm not growing barley.

They have probably migrated to the wheat fields ready to eat next years as they have heard of the full neonic ban [emoji32]

Tentatively suggest all you like. It's ripe. Got down to 11% moisture, with the baler chasing the combine. No green anywhere in the field. The ears are a few inches off the ground where it is brackling over. It's ripe.

in that case dont be in a rush to clean it ,if possible leave as long as possible blowing air through then after a while it makes it a lot easier to seperate grain and knock awns off ( lets call it denaturing) esp if you have a deawner/rethresher in your cleaning run the problem then is what to do with the cleanings cos if we arnt careful can lose more than gain this also works with those little grains of wheat in the tip of the ear its a balance of time and cost and what sort of a sample you prefer off combine

Farmers weekly are already writing promising yields above 8t/ha, they really help the job with there news reports!

Farmers Weekly should be shut down as it does more harm to us actual farmers than any legislation or Brian May types. It's our enemy, yet many of us pay them money every week to read lies.

Copy was already written weeks ago - like a supertanker cannot change course now but sub editors will gradually will insert the word disappointing into the text to replace promising.

I don't! absolute media rubbish!!

 

[Woldgrain Storage]

Venture grains very narrow, 57kg/hl, with high screenings through a 2.25.

Showing some pre-germ.

 

[David.]

Can I be the first to register a "disappointing" 8.2t/ha for some Tower.
Bushel unchecked

 

[Iben]

Straight to the top of the leader board.

Well done! What's the secret?

 

[Mr Charisma]

If I may just wave my willy for a minute. ,
I made a start into the rape yesterday ,,,,,,,,, about a third of the field the yield meter ( tho not calibrated over weigh bridge yet this year but will be done so later on today ) was knocking out figures of over 2 t / acre


Time will tell what the weigh bridge tells me and wether I'm still willy waving or looking at something all limp and disheveled
