Combine

Barley being combined this week in north Essex, apparently rape should be starting next week. Better check the lamp still works as I've left it too late to sort a scope out to work with the Pard :doh:
 
Speaking to a tractor driver yesterday. Rape still not been cut here in Dorset. It looks very brown in the field but he said some pods are still green inside. He reckons the cold wet start to the summer in late May/early June held it back.
 
Bit late to ask I saw some stubble being cultivated last weds next to the M5. Lots of cereals cut on M4 week last Friday, barley cut around us and rape was sprayed off at least a week ago so mid week. Wheat will be while yet.

Just started last week on the barley,now have been stopped by the recent rain. Drying really fast now warm and windy,I would expect them to start again tomorrow as a good fforcast this week .
 
Just started on 600 acres of it. Winter Barley done so Winter wheat next, then Spring Barley, then Spring wheat.
Looking at end August to start on Fallow bucks if weather stays right.
