Harvest/Yields 2020

[Warp Land Farmer]

I’ve just abandoned combining for the day.
Firefly wheat, moisture down to 10.5%!!
Combine overheating too. So bloody hot and breezy - I’m worried about fire.
Start again at 8 o’clock in the morning I think .

Crikey!! How was the Firefly comming off? We’ve got some in this year to try and quite hopeful of it.

You may finish by December

If it comes red hot we could all be finished before the middle of September. Mother nature has a great knack of evening things out.

Tbh we've been on the very tight belt since October. But then I have all next year's seed, fert and spray already in the shed. At least the tax rebate will help.

 

[moretimeforgolf]

I spoke too soon! Fortunately I’d cut this field.

 

[David.]

Was that set deliberately do you think?

Don't you have most of last harvest to sell?

is there an echo , keep the ship tight , ive never been so glad of the cattle , weve never had the numbers at this time of year.

 

[DrWazzock]

Glad we have the sheep to keep cash flow going although spend on late drilled crops has been refreshingly low. About 3 weeks away from start of harvest which is weird and unsettling as normally we’d be half way through by now. Spring barley looks like about 1 to 1.5 t per acre and wheat maybe 2.5 t per acre with fusarium shrivelled grain. Not much to get excited about. A very strange year.
