osr harvest 2017

[tw15]

Made a start today into some Campus that had started to go very flat in places .
So far fairly pleased with the yield 11.99 ha has filled a bay ( crica 55 -60 ton) and at 66-68 k hl weight 9 - 10 % moisture.

Will know in a few days when united oilseeds pick it all up how its done. The seed is defiantly bolder than the last few years.
Really looking forward to getting into the Barbados tomorrow as it has looked better all year .

Mmm don't want to rain on your parade but we did a farm yesterday and campus touched 2t/a and the good looking Barbados did 1.73.
Went flat and a pig to combine.

I've got vista to cut this year at home , has looked well all year till podding time , I have a feeling that the yield meter will want a bit of duct tape sticking over it so I don't get depressed ,,,,,,, but as always rape has the habit of surprising you , but no pub yields for me this year I fear !!!!!

1st block of Wembley has gone over the weighbridge and yielded 2t/a , 2nd block Wembley definitely better have still got clearing up load to go but will be nearer 2.25t/a will update post when we know exactly. Still have extrovert to cut this wk .

Very jealous here all rape failed on the farm as it did in the district. Seriously though, sounds like some good yields about . Rape not an easy crop to grow now. you've worked hard for it you deserve it , Will continue to read with interest, Rape harvest progress and try to keep a green tinge out of my eye!

Well it has all done ok will know full and final weights when it goes this next week some sold for harvest movement some going long in a pool all going off farm as and when ready for collection .
Barbados stood better and think it has yielded better than campus here . It is all off the heap seed and a spread ,scratch and see establishment .

Well done, great yields. Do i recall you using some pretty high seed rates?

Got started, first load in a 8.5% which was a surprise

Have to say early indications look like yield is nothing special

Margin should still be good though as no inputs applied other than herbicide and nitrogen so has been a pretty cheap crop

 

[Niteforce]

Started at 5 , did a breed round outside . Knocked off 3.5% !!!!! Early start in morning.

 

[Woodlander]

. V316OL desiccated 14 days and 15 hours ago. Still plenty of green in the stem but seed is 6-7%. Early yield indication 4.5 t/ha.

. First trailer load. Cabbage stem flea beetle crawling up the side. Luckily very few on second trailer now we're away from the headlands. Had very few issues with this pest over past few seasons but shows they are around.

 

[spikeislander]

Numbers are drastically lower round here than last year. Trailers were alive with them but very few this year.

 

[spikeislander]

On last field but it's very green but so close to finishing I think we'll push on to finish tomorrow

 

[tw15]

Hardly a beetle to be found in the store this year usually they are crawling out of the oilseed rape . What I have noticed when testing the moisture in a Marconi the amount of oil that is coming out of it when pushing out the ground sample never known so much have to wash your hands after so fingers crossed for a good oil bonus .

Are you sure they are flea beetle not pollen beetle? I'm sure you're right but though I'd ask.

 

[spikeislander]

Oils are generally higher on what I've taken to store.
