The Anyone finished yet thread

[Gedd]

Finished at last! Not one highlight, a harvest to forget. On the bright side, no breakdowns, no punctures and all in safely.

Good to hear someone else had a mediocre do a lot of folks around here shouting about the terrific do they've had no records broken here

Often those shouting loudest really have nothing to be shouting about and those who do have something to should about should keep their bloody mouths closed, it does not good to trade prices!

Finished w wheat last week and managed to start peas Saturday, cut 30 acres and cleared 20 acres of W beans yesterday afternoon, which now leaves.
30a W beans
15a s beans
30 s wheat
30a peas
10a s oats
60a linseed

I was hoping to clear the beans and peas, today and tomorrow, but over night rain has stuff that plan.

Just finished the last of the s wheat before a thunder shower. Only the linseed and s beans to go.
Would have been a bit further on, but a couple of break downs have lost us good few hours.

Finished weds pm. Needed a bit of help from a mate who cut 50ac. Mixed harvest some bits better than expected, some worse (oct drilled Firefly biggest disappointment). Everything else fine except winter linseed which was unmitigated disaster. Would have definitely taken it though if offered at any point last winter.

the one we’ve been looking for. Seems to have taken a long time considering we haven’t had much rain.

It’s been the wettest driest month for years
Just enough damp to stop you getting going and bone dry under foot

 

[Spencer]

I’ll take an August like this one every year thanks

Finished winter beans yesterday which were really good. In general a good harvest no breakdowns weather a bit frustrating but patience paid off not much drying to do.
