Harvest/Yields 2020

[Case290]

2 ton is looking like a good Crop this yr, be lots worse than that. My osr won’t make 1 ton an acre either.

6 weeks here

W Barley sprayed off a week ago mainly to kill the late flush of volunteer wheat and wild oats. OSR god knows.

No one on here will make the FW

Have cut 200 acres of rape so far. Best of it 3.6t/ha. Worst 2.3 t/ha.Might scrape a 3ton average. Down to 4.5% moisture by the end of the day too :-(

did a 17 acre field of winter barley yesterday. i think i could just about fill a 29 ton lorry . It was so short in places that i was using the reel to sweep it onto the bed. Hopefully that's the worst field.

that’s not good silver fox, the pictures of your crops you post on here make me feel sick with envy so god knows what others will be like?

Same on the moisture front. I don't know how it managed to get so low. Wasn't as if it was baking hot. Ended up carrying on through the rain to get some wetter stuff in the barn!

Similar here. Running at about 3t average. But very low spend and low fixed cost direct drilling structure. Leaves a nice margin even at the low yield

I think it’ll be a very mixed bag this year. It’s been a long time since I had such a poor crop of barley.
I’m sure your crops are as good as mine, I just photograph the better ones .

Just finished our osr. I guess it yielded .8 ton/acre if we are lucky. Grew it on some sharp land and it just died off. Looking at my spring barley i would agree with some of the comments saying it looks good from a distance but in field there are not enough ears.

Osr doing approx 2t/ha. Hybrid barley 8t/ha , very pleased. Won’t know until it goes how much but think over rather than under.

Not even "slightly disappointed"?

He shouldn't be, really - that's about double ours.

Fact is, I'm more than "slightly disappointed" here that my dire WB yield predictions should have turned out to be spot on - was actually hoping for something slightly better.

The words "shoot", "foot", and "oneself" now in the mind, in no particular order.

Are we going for a world record low yield On TFF this year.

 

[bankrupt]

a world record low yield

Unlike IRs, yields can't go below zero so there will need to be a tie-breaker on the number of times it was actually planted to get to zero yield.

Any advance on 3?

Into some better barley this afternoon . Sown later after maize , but on a field called the gravel hole, so it never yields very well .
Glad I’ve only got 30 acres of winter barley this year .

No I will better that with my very disappointing ww block that i predict will realise 5t/ha at best

That looks pretty good to me, I'd be happy with it, especially the swaths of straw

Well, I signed to collect 5 t / ha throughout my life, although I think my expenses are less than yours
