Driving up from Yeovil on Weds I saw a MF combine in a big field of barley and the two adjacent fields were baled. Very early unless it is for crimping. Last week noticed lots of pigeons on the wire above cereals so looks like a potentially v early harvest.

No but that farm is just up the road from me. Difficult to say if the barley is ready or dead as its been extremely dry in our area and winter planted on S facing banks has been well and truly baked. The fields I saw being cut were just outside Taunton.
