What moisture would you start at

[Gedd]

Just looked at my wheat 24.4% not as bad as I thought it might be after all the wet thinking 20% give it a go

What are soil conditions like?

Luckily there is a track right through the middle of this years wheat so trailer's will.be parked and filled

If straws damp then add half to full % so if you want it in shed at 20% go at 19.

Got Grafton starting to shed here which is very unusual, and a mercifully small area of Extase for seed shedding like buggery.
Grafton was 29% at 9pm last night. We're cutting at whatever the moisture is at 1pm on Sunday, if it's still wet then it will be headlands only to keep the drier going, but going it will be.

It’s actually giving 4 dry days here( if you can believe it), so will try and be patient today .
Ground conditions aren’t great .

 

[Gedd]

Oats tomorrow I think 21% today

Away to start spring barley again. Will be over 20 but want this bit cleared so we can move combine.
What moisture people start at up here depends on how much they have to cut. Some of the big boys will go in the high 20s

Or how big a drier they have!

Whereas here in the "dry" east many have very limited drying capacity.

Testing spring barley now at 20percent standing, flat patches 24percent, aim to get a couple of load this evening should be in to the teens by then I hope

 

[AndrewB]

Combines going everywhere today ( including us), in S Barley I doubt anything will be below 20%.

 

[Wombat]

It’s August so won’t go over 20% as that would be a fair old drying charge

Yes, damage now done here.

Still can't believe there were so many big combines stood up locally, the week before last, only just waiting for 19% to become 16%.

 

[Northern territory]

Still pissing down here. Anyone seen worse brackling in certain varieties. Our planet isn’t great.

Most barley has been sprayed off for 3 weeks and had well over 100 ml of rain in that time starting to brackle and go flat.
we except that every pea of grain we harvest will have to go through a grain dryer every year.

3 weeks means you've made it worse.

Haven't done anything below 24% for yonks.

I don’t have one so over 20% will be £15 a tonne in charges at least
