[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 7908052, member: 71668"] I expected this block to be the lowest yielding, as it was sown a bit late ( due to being too wet ), it was double cropped straight behind grain sorghum & we had trouble getting urea late in the season. It appears to be around 2.5 - 3 t / ha, which isn’t great, especially at “feed” prices, but we did jag a few loads of DR3 ( the lowest grade of Durum before it becomes “feed” ) off it, at $500 / t, which does help. We are about to move onto the breadwheat, which should yield quite a bit better, but it has had 300mm of rain in it since it was ripe, so we have not only lost protein & a lot of the test weight of the grain, but we have also lost quite a bit of physical grain from it shelling out of the heads. We have another 220 ha of Durum after here, which did have the best prospects, but it also suffered a lot of physical damage from the water going through it ( and washing the gravel off the public road than runs past it ), so we will see . . . We are leaving it till last as it’s going to be the most difficult harvesting [/QUOTE]
