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

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.

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

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.

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