cutting spring barley last night and conditions went to ship in two minutes would have finished today but its been crap! ironicaly turned to cultivations and the sumo dosnt want to go in. then a 12 mile move for 40 acres of spring barley half of thats still green , its so frustrating!

 

[Daniel]

Into the last 30 acres of spring wheat. Drizzled on and off all day, cleared up winter wheat and then then the knife drive belt gave up.

Meanwhile I was drilling cover crops and the ground is rock hard and dry as a bone!

 

[sodbuster]

35 acres of spring barley to cut and around 700 acres of straw to bale which isn't all cut. Need a good 4-5 days to tidy up

North Angus
Finished today.
Barley (Laureate) hitting specs, no issues.
Wheat yielded well, coming off combine 15-16%
Be the second earliest harvest that I can remember.
Should get it all baled up by weekend.

All done here makes a change to finish in August, been a very overcast harvest apart from the winter barley harvest.

 

[Wombat]

About half way on our little bit, hope to get the spring wheat done by the weekend then the last bit of spring barley next week looking at the forecast.
Dried up a bit yesterday aft but concrete wet again this morning.

I've only had 4 part days cutting below 15%. Still got over 300ac to go of wheat, sp.barley, sp.triticale, sp.oats, sp.linseed and winter beans. Nearly 200ac of that is on a farm that will not cut wet and by the time I dragged the combine home yesterday afternoon our spring barley was 19% and drizzle for an hour. Got wet roads this morning so not looking good.

Some awful looking crops of Beans around in West Suffolk - looks more like rewilding in some cases, with more weed than bean plants throughout..i'm guessing just the season?

About my only good decision of harvest was pre harvest glyphosate on the beans a fortnight ago to control the bindweed in the bottom

Yes. My beans looked pretty poor. They didn’t like the wet winter at all. That caused many to die out and weeds have replaced them.

Well done.

I work on the basis that the beans want spraying off the day before wheat harvest kicks off. By the time they weather has been good enough to cut everything else then they’ll be dead and ready to combine.

Just on the train from south east to Edinburgh and didn't see a combine or baler working until Northumberland when the sun came out.
Looks as if many thousands of acres still to do up this east side south of about Newcastle.

I don’t there be a combine round here that’s not working, and most with 3-4 farms still to get to (before Sunday?).

My Contractor’s supposed to be coming here next (still 2 days off), but getting screamed at from all sides I think.

 

[Wombat]

Cut another trailer of 18% spring wheat and then got drizzled off, same again tomorrow ??

 

[Chae1]

Finished our own tonight!

Fantastic day of wind and sunshine.

Just another 300 acres to go with our uncle who we share combine with.

 

[Cowcorn]

Down to 30 acres of barley that is still green about 10 days away . Straw to bale and tidy up .
Spring barley running around 2.7 acre . The wet may on our heavy ground didnt really help those on lighter ground have got nearly a ton acre more .
Good prices and good harvest weather over here make this one of the better years .

Looks like Tuesday next week to get the corn. Ground so hard after grass I can't get a set of discs in it.
