How much Harvest has been lost/abandoned in Scotland?

Willie waver, long time since I've heard the words dicky-camel!!!

It's baled now! Wuffler once then turned it over with single rotor rake, wuffled it another twice. Over a period of ten days where we'd a lot of wind. Was far from perfect but it's been trading for up to £20 for a 4.5 ft bale up here so it all counts.

It was straw we'd bought in bout. Not our combine.

Should be ok through a chopper .

Glad we've got straw chopper this year a lot of weathered straw you cut net off roll the bale 10ft and just left with a pile of straw.

Some of our straw in 30ft bouts. Good germination.

There was a thread running before harvest about how useless 30ft bouts were in wet weather, it was very prophetic.
I have never seen grain growing IN a bout before this harvest.
The rotaries leave the straw too dense, and dense enough for barley to grow in it.
some of my straw is baled behind a jd rotary, and there are huge divots in it.

Drove down from Glasgow to Stranraer Tuesday last week seemed what had been cut hadn't been baled, acres not touched at all very wet, farmer I spoke to said he may bite the bullet and just strip graze it with silage. Not good.

 

[Ormond]

That is precisely the problem.
Thats when you need an old fashioned combine with the engine at the front over the drive wheels

 

[glasshouse]

that takes me back, where is that?
and your strawwalker montor light is on.
