For me none. But hopefully 50ac of spring barley if nothing goes wrong.

Have to move the combine between farms before I get back onto wheat. Never fun on the bank holiday weekend.

Were those the beans I drilled?
Yep they did 2x 12ton wooton trailer loads 1. 1/2of x your old green trailer load , 1 x as 10 ton trailer with greedy boards load so not to bad recon on around 45 tons off 11 ha . So not to bad a bit patchy with weeds in places but where good they were good .

Aim to cut 7.5% of total wheat area per day. Today will hopefully see us at the half way mark for wheat. It's been hard work this year what with the weather and breakdowns.
Makes me wonder about combine capacity, how many days do people think it should take to cut their wheat crop, regardless of how much they grow?

There’s a thread about that in here, started by @MX7 . 10 days seems to be a common theme.

8 weeks here by the time it has rained for much of August. That’s growing osr, wheat, spring barley and a spring break of some kind. Spring oats this year.

From the NFU:


The story behind the BBC's Focus on Farming week...

This week, the BBC has been broadcasting farming-related reports on a range of topics across agriculture including climate change, Brexit, nature, welfare and the future of farming.
At the start of the year, following several news reports that misrepresented agriculture and the livestock sector in particular, President Minette Batters wrote to the BBC to complain about the broadcaster’s coverage of food and farming.
Following the letter, Minette and Communications Director Fran Barnes had a meeting with BBC news executives and editors to raise their concerns and discuss how farming could be portrayed in a more balanced light in future broadcasts.
As a direct result of the meeting, the BBC decided to run a week-long focus on farming and the next step for us was to make sure we helped to influence their reporting.

Over the past couple of months we have been in regular contact with journalists, producers and editors across the BBC to discuss their focus on farming. In particular, what issues are important to farmers right now and who would be best to interview. NFU Media Manager Sam Ette says: “obviously we don’t have final say over what the BBC should focus on but by suggesting topics and providing them with background briefings from staff and interviews with NFU members and officeholders, we’ve tried to be as influential as possible.”
