Harvest/Yields 2020

[bobk]

You will all be getting rich off your barley then. rep asking today if I had any for sale £129 off combine. Glad I don`t grow the stuff.

Wait until wheat is 250 , they'll want the barley then .

 

[Adeptandy]

Heard from a reliable source today Frontier are £3/t less than everyone else

 

[ajd132]

Mines distilling with high n spec. V pleased we have a big chunk of it.

 

[Lincsman]

They can have some of mine at £129. Was told £120 here. I suggested they may like to "f right off".

To be fair, that was what was predicted at drilling time.

Will reassess in a month. Crystal ball says a lot of winter barley is actually complete shyte, and a lot of spring will end up on the floor waiting to be cut. Won't kill me to keep it until July 2021.

Cut another field of barley today, ok ish amount of straw and 2.25-2.5 t/ac grain.

It was too late to move the combine so we had a little nibble next door on some mid october drilled diego 2nd wheat which is doing just under 3 ton/ac(It may just be there but I'd rather under estimate)
The sample isnt as bad as I thought it might be, plenty of greens from the tramlines but they'll dye off in the heap with plenty of air.

I have been cutting my neighbours wheat. Spec wt is very good at 85 and protein 14.
Doing about 2.5t/acre.
Should be all finished there tomorrow and start at home. I have too many dull, upright ears that haven't filled and the grain looks very shrivelled. Update tomorrow.

Started on worst field sandy gravel might do 6t/ha. Only 10ha then on to some better stuff hopefully

Cut our first field of Cassia WB, done approx 3t acre. This is our worst bit I think, but Usually hit 4t acre.

Cassia (mostly @Flat 10 !) drilled 18th-22nd Nov weighed out at 3.5t acre by the lorry weighers. So fairly happy

Was it watered ?

 

[Treg]

We combined our winter barley today, old skool style. 6 acres of gimlet and 6 acres of cassia. Nothing between them and made 2.8 ton / acre over the weighbridge and 81 round bales. View attachment 896173

Hey I recognise that field! Ansome bit of straw it is, nicely stacked away in the barn Thanks @cornishking

 

[Sonoftheheir]

Was it watered ?

No John, we did go through the winter wheat once.

 

[Brisel]

Osr in Dorset averaged 0.75 t/ac or 1.85 t/ha in new money Pretty typical according to the locals.

Makes pulses, oats etc look more attractive, especially without the slugs & every bit of nature out to nail the oilseed rape!

 

[nick...]

Despite all the diabolical yields of osr round here everyone seems to be drilling it again.

Didn't realise you'd left already! Hope you're getting on well up there!

Unfortunately there is a lot down here struggling to do 1 t/ac

 

[bankrupt]

Osr in Dorset averaged 0.75 t/ac !

Think that's probably even worse at the Bank than our 1.5t/ac WB.

 

[T Hectares]

Made a start to harvest yesterday, first field of Campus finished today, 54 ha @ 3 t/ha

I'm really pleased with that TBH, it's had a pretty low spend in line with the new expectations of OSR life today!!

I'll end up with a ton an acre less than that I would have thought but all things considered I'll be happy with that.

More cassia today, I'm really struggling to see a good reason to change away from it.

 

[Jo28]

On with osr at the moment, looking like it might struggle to make 0.5t/acre

 

[Texelman]

Winter barley tremendous in north Aberdeenshire. Just finished averaging over 4t/acre. Kingsbarn doing exceptionally well but tower and Flynn not far behind
