Cranfield Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 Whats happening crop-wise in your part of the country ? In Kent, the rape seems to be all in as is the oats and barley. Plenty of stubbles, with a bit of rape sprouting from spilt seed. The main wheat harvest has started ,but stopped again due to the wet weather. My Farmer friend reckons he needs 5/6 days of sun for his wheat to dry sufficiently to harvest. As they want it in by the end of August, its a worrying time for them. No planting at the moment.

everygoodnamewastaken Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 The barley up here is gonna be cut mid september.......cant wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 dont know when any of the remaining barley and wheat will be cut . its a hard as nails but sodden , all the combines are idle and the ground is a quagmire . the estimate is atleast a week if the rain stops and the sun comes out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! , then the maize and beans will need cutting then the winter seed will be going in , so instead of a nice couple of months it will all be a rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 The barley was cut yesterday. There's a few dozen woodpigeon on the stubbles today but the farmer intends to plough straight away so I better be quick. :but: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
