Not Nearly Finished

[HAM135]

Getting fed up reading the nearly finished thread,must be great to farm in England.The remnants of Hurricane Bertha decided to sit on us for 2 days last weekend flattening the remaining wheat that was standing,not cut anything below 20% yet.130 acs s barley left mostly flat + 100acs wheat also flat and forecast not great for this week either.What we have in the shed is worth v little and is costing a fortune to dry so can't feel to sorry for the Englishmen that can't get there wheat below 17%Rant over

its alright get your independence, then we can put a rope around scotland and drag you out into the atlantic and you can choose your destination.

No need to fret. Here in Shropshire we are only half way through harvest.Frequent heavy showers every day.Yes I know its not a hurricane but.....frustrating

 

[Penmoel]

Looking to start on our bit of barley but rain every day forecast this week

 

[Brisel]

Stop reading the damn thread then!

I have another 8 days to go here near the south coast, if that's any consolation.

 

[Clive]

I may have finished wheat but will be busy with combine well into september - waiting for oats and peas to be ft still yet then linseed, millet, lupins and beans to go none even dessicated yet

 

[franklin]

400ac wheat, 80ac linseed, 35ac spring oats.

No drier, so cant cut any above 16%.

On paper I can do the lot in 5 days. But not had a day with more than 5 hours cutting in it in any cereal crop so far.

Washed my combine down today and put it away for the winter. Now where's my tin hat!

well England will be fecked as it is most likely to loose g8 status and its seat on the security council.all in all it will become a pip squeak country.

 

[ridger]

Haven't started yet, no point getting all excited. Will be harvesting potatoes and beet til end November at least, baled last of barley straw there in feb

 

[Farmer Dod]

Still all spring barley and oats to cut with barley nearly ready but oats still at least 10 days. Cut 2 fields of wheat but rest still a while away. This weather is frustrating. Feels strange that we will soon have been combining a month yet it's still only the middle of August.

 

[Dan7626]

Still got near 300 acres of wheat to cut and the last 30 acres of ryegrass mowed ready to combine but just as it looks like it'll go we get a heavy shower and everything is on hold again. Getting frustrating now.

 

[Gilchro]

My entire 40 acres is still standing but now had liquid sunshine so reckon we'll get to it in 10 days.

Not exactly massive but from little acorns........

My neighbour put liquid sunshine on almost 4 weeks ago it's flat now and turning blacker by the day good luck

Maybe we won't waste all our money trying to police the world and fighting every so called war going.
I'd rather be Sweden.

 

[chaffcutter]

After a wedding in Somerset on Saturday we came back Sunday via Frome - Cirencester - Stow - Warwick - M42. Only saw 1 combine working late afternoon, but massive areas of wheat, beans, ?s.barley not cut so not everyone is contributing to the other thread..

I'd rather we spent more money on schools, hospitals et al, than always rushing off to the Middle East to sort everyone out. Look what good getting rid of Saddam has done us.
All the PM s are on power trips to see who can be the USA s best mate.
I don't believe in appeasement , but why stick our nose in everyone else's business.
