at last a blueish sky a light drying breeze so after the last 3 1/2 days in combine lockdown we may be able to have another go when the dew lifts and finish the autumn sown wheat and move on to the sp barley which hopefully by the time we get there will come in reasonably dry

While you’re in Northallerton go into Lewis and Cooper’s to stock up on great food.
Also try the Black Sheep brewery at Masham. My favourite beer (Rigwelter) and good grub too.

I think by the looks of thing someone has moved into your old place , a car on the drive and bit and bobs on window sills so looks like they have found someone .

My best ever crop .........of volunteers. At least 100kg / acre have dodged the combine. Don't know why I bothered sowing mustard as a cover crop.

Bad news, today.

It's an attractive job.

So much so that I offered to do it for 5 years fee-free - it would have been fun for, amongst other things, I'm pretty hot stuff at dealing with difficult autumns, ambitious game-keepers and wet harvests.

Unfortunately, they put my (freely disclosed) history of stressful events, including the 2020 harvest, current lifestyle, etc , etc, in to the usual search engines and found my life expectancy to be -3.7yrs.

Well started the jan down wheat and about 5t/ha thought it looked a little better but it couldn’t cope with 145mm the 3 weeks after drilling then 20mm in April and May.

Bit down really but Hey ho not a lot we can do now just get ready to start again
