The "I've not started yet" thread

[Zippy768]

Thought I'd start one to make myself feel better.

Was on grass most of last week, was telling myself that the wheat volunteers would had made the moisture in the WB too high anyway.
Plenty of rain over weekend and looks a showery week

We haven’t started our own barley yet done plenty for others though so your not alone

 

[Nearly]

Waiting for headlands to die and hoping belt arrives for combine tomorrow.

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

Triticale next weekend hopefully.

No WB or osr, but wheat must be best part of 2-3 weeks off yet. Spring barley may come first.

Oh yeah, I still have a belt to go on a half dismantled combine

 

[thorpe]

done about 25% of ours , looks catchy next week but ripe barley does dry quick.

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.

Barleymight be ready end of this week, rye 2 to 3 weeks, wheat 3 to 4, oats 4 to5

Why do you need to spray it off?

 

[Spencer]

Difference between need and want...

Tramline greens from digestate fat tyres. Will not be the lot, merely the nozzles behind the wheels. Hence the good three weeks needed for the results to be seen.

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.

 

[T Hectares]

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 !!

 

[4course]

osr been sprayed a week will go have a look later today

 

[rob h]

All spring cropping hear so probably 3 weeks

 

[Sonoftheheir]

Barley won’t be ready here till it comes dry again, hopefully next week? Wheat a couple of weeks off I reckon.

Our stuff is planted late due to spud harvest.

 

[Barleymow]

4 acres of remaing barley will go wheat dries up , was surprised by how much winter barley still to cut locally ,wheat at least 2 weeks away .3 years ago today I cut the beans to finish harvest in July
