Looks more like rape to me - never seen branching like that before in beans.
Yes it isIsn’t it fat hen
Beans are dead, haven’t checked moisture, decided a few in the shed with a moist week forecast was a better option.They look far greener than mine. Moisture?
Didn’t realise dry and beans appeared in the same sentenceHow have you all cut it remotely dry??
Driver faster. If they're tall, slow the reel down and lean it against the crop so they feed feet first, and send her on. It'll feed much better than trying to pull them in with the reel.Only went about 100 yards in, but the crop didn't seem to want to flow into the header. Only travelling v steady.
Also managed to get unthrashed pods in the sample .
Will need a bit of playing when we get going. 18.7% so will leave a few days and hopefully get some sun on them
20%How have you all cut it remotely dry??
How long would they store worth pedestals at 20%?
I assume that is because they were only fit to cut on a frosty day in DecemberI've had them in store at over 20% and didnt get to dry them until after Xmas, they were fine
Know of two fields locally that were harvested this MarchCannot recall exact year but think it was 1992 a farm I was involved with was harvesting Beans and Linseed on and off through until December. Ended up with above floor lateral stores with heaps of Bean plus plenty of pods and stalk and Linseed bolls general crap. Blew air through winter on and off. Kept walking over the top and two of us used to stir them up with beet fork to break the crust. Beans and Linseed went kind of mouldy. Come longer days in March farm bought a modulating gas burner and managed to dry the beans and Linseed. Then we ran them back through the MG38. Came out an absolutely super sample. Nice and bright - both beans and Linseed. And heaps of crap blown out the back!
17mm here, they take a bit to wet them, a bit like it is to dry them, biggest issue was cutting a grassy stubble higher than the bottom pods.Mine are still out there, just hoping the ship didn't sail whilst we were sorting sheep Sunday in the sunshine.
7mm rain here this am...
