Have you got tractor trouble?

 

[average farmer]

How shite? Last year the ones not shook out were 37kg.

37-41 was the range got the results when I was leaving the yard so not looked properly. We were ok last year and a run through the opico got them to spec. But ours were flat last year and didn't shed in the wind and yielded the best weve grown .

Tbf I think if I didn't have as many oates I'd have had some fallow. 95% of our farm is spring crops this harvest and I didn't buy or dress a seed.

Ouch that is sh!t. I'm surprised the current oat price isn't better tbh. This has been the first year sp barley has beaten oats on this farm, for yield or profit (aka less loss).

I’ve been loading Isabel spring oats today. They are weighing much better than Elyann did last year. I actually managed to squeeze 29t on a lorry today, the best I managed last year was 23t!

Anyone seen "The Nightingale" on Netflix? Shows the brutality/hypocrisy towards the "crims" & Aboriginals by the English Army. Cringe...

Shocking

Safer to be following him than meeting him!!!!

God help anyone who either drives towards him 2 foot from the bank with the attitude of "a tractor can get over, Im in a car and have right of way" (normally BMW or Audi drivers) or anyone who fails to pull into a passing place and keeps coming towards him.

The red mist descends and he plays his game of let's see if we can get a rizla between your mirror and my front wheel!!!!!

Spot on.

 

[fieldfarmer]

Spot on.

I think I may have to put you on "follow" it started here at 20 past, so you are more accurate then the met office and they're only 10 minutes the other way.

At least I'm getting a free suna as the steam coming out of last night's effort is mixing with the cold rainy air.

Can we get back onto topic please , discussing crap yields?

 

[bankrupt]

Can we get back onto topic please ,

Already posted all our yields, compared to last year (see above).

Not finished Spring Oats (didn't have any last year) but still yielding about double what we had the last time we did (1976).

In fact, recent gales seem to have blown out about the same as what we actually harvested that time.

Headlines yesterday Worst Wheat Harvest for 40 years.
Bread prices to Rise.
Wet all the time bound to have impact on quality and Protein daily ?

 

[teslacoils]

Much sprouting going on? Shed oats haven't chitted despite the wet. Ditto ears of spring barley on the floor not growing.

Much sprouting going on?

Cut our first badly sprouted wheat a week ago last Saturday.

Funnily enough, it didn't seem to get much better as time went on.

Has it started to rain ?

Just measured another 22mm - probably 90% of what we'll get today.

Big positive - unlike Tuesday - none of the combine sheets have been blown off.
