No combines out yet.

Will winter barley be ready next week for this good spell of weather or is it still to early.

 

[Dave6170]

Pal in Perthshire was going to be spraying off

 

[Chae1]

Big baler man was phoning yesterday. He reckoned it was going to kick off in Englandshire week after next.

Or was hoping! Got 2 vans and service crews coming to Scotland next week.

Saw the first stubble today, in fact several fields here were cut, baled and cleared. It was standing on Monday when I went through but gone today. It's an early bit of ground but I don't think I've ever seen it done in June.

I’ll be looking at the winter barley towards the end of next week. It’s patchy though. Sand burning off. Heavy patches still a bit green. Not in a rush. Only feed so will leave it as long as possible till before the heads look like blowing off or breaking down. Awns will come off easier.

 

[Jon 3085]

Probably 3 weeks away,unless it comes really hot.

 

[Bobthebuilder]

olly blogs cut some a few days ago, i would think we're 3 weeks off yet depending on the weather

 

[Zippy768]

Too much Wheat and brome in ours. Will need glyphosate next week

 

[Norfolk Olly]

We will be into it next week, just got back from Norfolk show and sitting in the garden enjoying a cold beverage and the inconsiderate sod next door has decided to make a start

 

[Jerry]

Fair bit cut around here but for crimping

 

[Zippy768]

It gets earlier every year

 

[TheEarlOfMoray]

Will be spraying off osr next week. About a fortnight earlier than normal here

 

[APJ]

Would think this field of sensation will go end of next week. All rape sprayed off now so countdown is on.

 

[uztrac]

Expect to see action commencing with winter barley within the next week or so.

 

[Norfolk Olly]

Well that served him right for being keen

going in suffolk at 15%

 

[Two Tone]

There are a couple of fields at Atherstone-on-Stour just south of Stratford on the A3400 that looked to me like White flowered Linseed that had swaths of Combined straw last Saturday evening!

going in suffolk at 15%

I have harvested Winter Barley in Suffolk in late June 1994. I’d been driving a Pea lorry taking them to Birdseye in Lowestoft the night before and started Combining the following afternoon. It was 13%.

Let the season of FW yabber start. The annual revolving door of the quietly pleased yields of "we were expecting it to be dead on the blown sand but think we're going to have to buy a new grainstore". Does noone In the press ever cut corn over 15 percent in England? Or have yields under 4t/AC?

Well I hope you threw the beer up in the air and made a dash for the combine shed with a deck chair still tangled round your legs, while on the phone to the baler contractor to get his arse here pronto.

you will need a bright pair of pink trousers and a smug grin that says I’m a better farmer than you then you will be able to achieve the above.
