Cut one load just to try the machine, it’s hardly fit yet so will wait until next weeks showers have done there work.

Looked at some of dads wheat and that has very little flag leaf left now. Mine is a good week behind. My rough guesstimate would be I'll be dessicatinf mine on the 10th of August. Ready for bank holiday weekend.

No WB or osr, but wheat must be best part of 2-3 weeks off yet. Spring barley may come first.
Yes, exactly the same here. SB on brash maybe before wheat, stuff on heavier ground will certainly be after. Changeable weather due from now onwards according to a man who pays for such info.

Finished desiccating OSR this morning, the earliest I will be starting is the middle of next week in the earlier OSR
Might have some Wheat to follow on with from about 8 - 10th

Very late harvest here, first time ever that I haven’t cut something in July !!
