2nd wheat skyfalll has done better than I feared
260.60 tons of 66 acres
Gone in to our local store at between 15 and 16% moisture so weight loss to be deducted
Generally 78 to 80 spec weight
Protein 12. 5 to 12.8 with the loads that had fert overlap going through at over 13
Had protol on ears as well albeit slightly late by a couple of days
So first wheat skyfalll and 1st wheat gravity today, gravity on sand tho
Ziatt hopefully tomorrow
Been watching some skyfalll come into the store that has very low protein,,,,,,,, between 7% and 8%
Not enough N no doubt but to be expected if expensive N

Wheats testing here this afternoon from 18% to 25%, depending upon soil type and variety.
High time we got up with the times by buying a new moisture meter, methinks.

Supposed to be low humidity by now. Actually drizzling. Sigh. May as well book the weekend off.

Rained here this afternoon, anyway of to the commonwealth games for the weekend and a couple of jobs left to do on the combine. Next week looks cool and showery for the start of the week so no major rush especially as it’s not august yet

Dodging showers on the WB today. Around 16% with some green in the stubble.

Summer in the dry part of England and it's still gash. Roll on 16 percent moisture contracts. Just want the bloody stuff in the shed now.

It takes a while to break down the turf and release the goodness, but when ploughed back up it's a lovely crumbly, fertile tilth and the barley romps away. I find potential barley yields are set by 1st march. This had 120 units and muck.

Yes I know what you mean. Takes time. I've ploughed down semi fresh FYM for maize, and then ploughed it back up with following WW.

Yeah 40 deg kills everything off that was trundling along quite nicely then it turns to crap now it’s all ready

I'm hoping mine is ripe, just as the next heatwave hits next month
