Record harvest?

WB still looking three weeks away, so probably not starting here until 4th July, much later than in 1984.

Crops here were set back by early drought, so yields not likely to match those of 2019.

Nominal prices now at a record high but not yet approaching the £650/tonne in today's money available for WB off the combine in July 1976.


What is certain is that the cost of establishing next year's crops will be a new record, in real money and nominal, historic or current cost accounting, back of one's proverbial envelope or up in the cloud.

I don’t think you will go bankrupt this year
 
I’ll tell you record or not in mid to late august
we have enough plants and enough grain sites and probably enough moisture
rate of nitrogen a bit on the low side for highest yields
but most of all now need enough daily sunshine and no high temperature days

Been around the one side of the Cotswolds today
doesn't look like the spring crops will make average
over there .:oops:
The ones I see don’t look bad from the road, my own look ok on the brash, earlier drilled the better, SW looking great, SB some very good and some average (later drilled)
WW’s look very good, a lot of BG about this year
W Beans look very well indeed and podding up nicely. We’ll find out soon enough!!
