How much harvest left ?

[radar]

Mobile batch drier!! We did ours at over 30% 2 years ago.

OK but surely the combine is going to mush them up when unripe?

Not sure only ever grew them once. Too high and too far north for them up here. Combining at the end of october was no fun. Neither was drying them. Took forever.

We're in the same country. But farm in completely different worlds.

Yes, must have missed the again unforecast deluge we had last night.

Certainly wouldn't get that here today. Maybe 24%

Still 50 acres of S beans to cut - 25% pods black, rest green still. Out of curiosity put some in moisture meter (marconi) and squeezed. Water oozed out! Any suggestions on how to speed up the ripening welcome -patience in short supply!

Round up surely? Sounds not ready for reglone. If you think they won't be naturally ripe in a fortnight (which I doubt) I'd give it a dose for definite.

Is there really any wheat left in Hampshire still stood? Gf was told someone had a fair bit and l thought it was most unlikely.

Moisture tested a sample at 4 this afternoon. Wind was up and sun was out most of the day. Still at 27 %. Sickening. Waiting for the duals to be fabricated to get onto the ground.

Sent trailer and borrowed muck fork to a field today to scrape up the only single swath of straw we didn't put through the chopper on all harvest !

Tried a sraw chopper on it yesterday and it was to wet to even go through that

Bale it and send it down to Devon.

Bale it and send it down to Devon.

No no no no no no, turn it a thousand times between now and next march. Then give up and incorporate the tiny amount that's left.....

Was cutting yesterday. Thankfully have a tracked combine. What a nightmare end to harvest

Oh fudge

Pretty happy to have a small acreage with a big combine when I read this thread! First time ever finished combining, baling, drying and straw carting all in August...and that's in Scotland!

 

[Bob lincs]

Last field and we actually have DUST ! Combines going all round us here today .

 

[l'ordinary bonville]

Spring wheat for the neighbour today and we're finished

That's a relief

 

[marshallfarm]

Still 100 acre to go and it's gonna rain again in a couple of hours.

What moisture was that at? Mine was 24% this aft and I just couldn't go at that

 

[franklin]

35ac of linseed in. Forecast this morning was for a nice week. Come home and the week ahead looks decidedly like a return to shyte. Optemistic that we will miss anything bad tonight / tomorrow and will finish linseed and then go get the beans by wednesday night.

Finished the canary seed today, and providing we miss the rain tonight. I get the spring wheat tomorrow.
