[Oscar]

Got combine back from 25 miles away with 24 acs still to cut their but he will have to find someone else[doing someone a favour]. co owner on now with his very fit but weathered WB 4pm and 15%. We have had 32mm last 6 days but windy/hot today so dried up a treat. Got 80 acs to do before a 12 mile move to my OSR but unfortunately rain on wednesday so will be thur/fri hopefully and hope not too heavy rain on wed.

 

[Heathland]

Haven't move a wheel here since Friday evening been raining, drizzly and cold here and to top it off the rape slowly going down now.
Its going to take tomorrow just to dry up just to get wet Wednesday..

 

[Hampton]

Knocked a field off this arvo. Started at 9.5, down to 7.8 when we finished

Exactly the same here, it rained all day here and is still going now! Different day entirely in the west by the sound of things!

 

[Fish]

Haven't cut a feck'in thing since Wednesday, five days of rain on the belt. Rape still hang on, but we don't want to many nights like last night for the lot to be on the floor.

Having trouble here with green stems down to 7.8% tonight but hard going

 

[tw15]

A fair few on osr after yesterdays rain and trying to get it in the shed before Wednesday's rain comes . Better in the shed a bit wet than on the ground . A lot of rape around here looks like has a bit of a battering

 

[Jerry]

Still cutting and still at 7.8%

 

[Jerry]

Carried on till about 2am this morning and now back at it.

Race before the rain

 

[Clive]

We finish a big block about 9.30 last night got down to sub 10% later in the day , moved 15 miles

We got back on this morning and its wetter at 12% but going try clear it up before the forecast rain wednesday as it look rubbish for about a week after that

 

[Manny]

Were stuck at around 14% at the moment. I hope the sun shines and the breeze gets up.

 

[Hampton]

Just finished! last load 7.8%, but final trailer got caught in a sharp shower on the way back to the farm. Hopefully no harm done.

Correction: last load 6.8% not 7.8

 

[Clive]

Short clip opening up a field earlier, yields looking better as we move into the later crops now

Going to be a late one tonight I reckon to get another block completed before the rain

 

[Jerry]

Finished rape just in time. Heavens opened and 5mm of rain in 10 mins.

 

[Wheatonrotty]

Having tested a sample at 4 and it was 11.6, got going about 5.30 and it had dropped to 9.5. Nearly finished the patch we're on and about to move to the last 100 acres. Planning to keep going till as long as possible, so hoping for a late night!

 

[turbo]

Just finished the block at home it got down to 7.5%,just another 30 acres to do away from home but it's barely ready

 

[Heathland]

Think its going to be a late one,just what I wanted after walking sugarbeet all day.

On the plus side, it looks like a nice even and clean crop!
