ShropshireSam Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Have some barley cut on a couple of farms but rape not ready yet and forecast means probably at least another week before anyone starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchman Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 2 fields of rape cut in the week, went out today not a pigeon on there. im not expecting much on the rape here.........they all use "podstick" before cutting now so there is not much to glean...........my best time comes when the stubbles are gernminating.............

Redditch Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Have some barley on ONE of my farms that might be harvested in about 3-4 weeks IF the weather gets sunny. The rest will be another 6-8 weeks at least :( Edited July 25, 2015 by Redditch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
