The "I've not started yet" thread

[robbie]

We had a go at barley last Friday and it wasn't thrashing and the straw was like silage so we've left it, it'll go as soon as the weather lets us a few wets and drys aways ripens it quickly.
Wheat is a fortnight away, spring barley may come first and spring triticale is still green from top to bottom.

Made a start. A few teething issues and a very unproductive evening

 

[T Hectares]

Made a start in some Campus tonight, 8-9%
cutting well, but an uninspiring 3.5t/ha so far…

 

[teslacoils]

Still not started. Maybe Saturday 14th.

Started winter Barley tonight
At last

 

[neilo]

Winter barley all done this afternoon/evening, all 36ac of it. I estimate I have 150% in the shed, of the total I sold last year, with fantastic looking Spring Barley crops yet to harvest.
I’ll be happier when the straw is all undercover tomorrow night, but certainly happy enough at this point, after last year’s arable disaster.

 

[Secret Agronomist]

Cut our 70 acres of LG Mountain barley, appears to have done 8.5t/ha plenty of straw. About 4 hesstons/acre, considering it was only ankle high when the ears emerged.

 

[Zippy768]

Up to a resounding 8 acres cut now!! And stopped again
Serious teething issues

 

[Oscar]

Still waiting to do my W Barley , 42 acs . Into another 4 days of rain and storms but looking better from Monday. Should get it off mid week.

There seem to be a lot of people posting in the wrong thread!
It is the I’ve NOT started thread you know!
Nearly got excited this afternoon with a nibble in barely fit rye but rain stopped play before I got my act together. At least it should be properly fit when I get back to it next week!

 

[teslacoils]

I've not started.

 

[Spencer]

Not started, but sprayed some off

You know what is said on here about winter barley and a fortnight's holiday - mine is just at the 'look out the bucket and spade' stage. Bloody fungicides/fertility.

Bloody fungicides/fertility.

Far better unripe than ripe or over-ripe under current weather conditions.

 

[Sonoftheheir]

My first drilled wheat tested 20% yesterday. This time next week hopefully will be into it

 

[Jon]

I've not started yet.

 

[robs1]

My wife hasn't started yet but she has a headache and I'm working long hours so expect her to start on very soon

[bankrupt]

Dry, windy night here - decided by 6.00am that the last 80 acres of flat oats would finally go at 8.00.

Rain set in 7.55.
