Harvest/Yields 2020

Indeed. 6t is going to be better than many. At £160 a ton, plus sub that's going to leave a margin, whereas a lot of folk will be on negative margins after osr, winter barley, peas and beans. It's far from a write-off.

Agreed. If I was offered an average of 6t & £160 across our little lot I think I would take it.

It's going to be c£100/AC more output than mine, and probably lower costs after rents.

@Clive.
6 t/ha with so little spend is a result. I tried a lot harder than that for not much more yield.

 

[AF Salers]

First 20 acre field of WW cut. Light land. 2.6 tpa 6.5 t/ha. Not great but little spent. Roll on 2021!!

This year whilst variable costs will have been kept low, I doubt that the fixed costs will have budged at all. Keeping the latter low/in proportion to output is the key.

Will be interesting to see how milling spec varies across the country.

Yields from 3.4 to 10.8 t/Ha for wheat here. Harvest all wrapped up now. It’s the earliest finish in my time farming by some way, helped by not having any of our usual spring linseed acreage this year.

Same here, T Hectares.

Got going, at last, on our wheat at 17.5% yesterday only to get 10mm in 10 mins when just starting up again today and the forecast for this week now none too good at all.

So, still averaging 4.75t, so far.

Per acre?
A disappointing 12 t /ha?

 

[glasshouse]

Just a few maybe, but i have bloody loads. no idea what to do with the rest of the field. If i spray with roundup now will it be knackered for seed?

Dry it down

 

[Wombat]

Agreed. If I was offered an average of 6t & £160 across our little lot I think I would take it.

I’d sacrifice a testicle for that, this year[emoji4]

average ?

 

[shakerator]

Be interested to know your proteins with those yields and N @Clive

 

[B'o'B]

average ?

8 t/Ha over area drilled. 7Ha of which were sprayed out early spring having only received seed and slug pellets (I probably should have sprayed another 3Ha out in hindsight).
Im over the moon with that as over half was 2nd or 3rd wheats.
The less said about the peas, rye and winter linseed the better though.

You have quite a bit of clay there don’t you ?

Small field of Parkin, just tried as a look see. Done as well as anything here. 78kg at 14%

Didn’t have much looking like that here...

No, mainly thin limestone brash. With some areas of slightly deeper glacial till (which gave the 10.8t/Ha )

Nor have I now! Got 2/3 of wheat left to do now which is generally pants.

 

[Sonoftheheir]

A week wait here at least. Just not fit, hanging on for no reason. Everyone else seems to be getting done around here.
