Grass was pretty good this year.
My Irina sp.barley I have cut this evening, and and not in a good way;
7ha for 3 AS 10ton trailer loads and a bit in the binder tank. Crap ground, wet places, etc.
On topic though, yet to cut anything that would be more pleasing than the Mascani oats, which will have done 3ton/ac.
Wheat so far between 2.5 and 3.2ton/ac. Best sample so far Ellicit. Firefly shite.

some of our WB was absolute pants its done about 2.5 an acre broke no pots but would have gone for that in feb, osr 1.4 sold happy good enough with the bonuses gone up £20 a ton since , dont care happy on the day. wheat half done god know what its done sold 6 loads spot whish id sold the lot will cube up when its all gone. hope the 2nd farm comes as good at least thats where the dryer is. not cut anything for 10 days got to get going soon hopfully tomorrow. ps never sold wheat at harvest before and this is my 50th suppose ive got it wrong this time!
i cant see sugar beet being a winner any time, best days work we did when we gave em up!

Gleam wheat. 1st wheat in six. After two year clover. Not telling yield. Didn't look special but was almost calling Norris McWhirter.

WB, both tower and kingsbarn done 4t dried, incentive OSR has done 2t with 1 field still to cut, gleam and extase wheat both done well but not got dried weights back yet, skyfall disappointing, weights are/ac before anyone asks
Does the Claas " Yield of dreams" meter agree?

People outside of the beet job don’t seem to realise that once you reach contracted tonneage it’s somewhere between £5 and £15 a ton for the excess if you actually follow the letter of the contract and deliver it. It’s just a clearance job for the producer for tonnage over quota. Over a barrel and all that.
A bad beet year means the producer loses. A good beet year, the customer wins.
Imagine if wheat growers had to give anything away over 3t per acre at cost or less.

Does it actually state surplus beet have to be delivered????? I've never bothered reading it as I don't grow too much C quota
Beet look very well but I have reservations about weather they will be that good. We've struggles to get enough sunlight so we may have big root yields but if the sugars low and they don't "adjust" very well they could still be pants!!!!

I started on a field of Gleam yesterday that was drilled late after maize in les than ideal conditions and hasn’t looked great all season , yet is amazing me with how much is going in the tank . Firefly drilled in Sept after rape, looked fantastic all year but is average at best. Took more buckets to fill a lorry than I liked .

My poorest looking field of gleam yielded the best.
