Ballymac Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi boys I just had the first two fields harvested on my permission this weekend, starting to see more birds about, have been out in field only twice so far, but all the barley and wheat is standing tall, with very few patches blown over.Most of it is not ready seems to be later this year, except for one farmer. How are the rest of you finding it, I bet the Co Down boys are gettin some good shooting. Let's hear from ye. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 my shooting has been pathetic this past few weeks.in all fairness i`m not putting in the effort either.have about 50 acres of dads barley to shoot and that will be it. plenty of pigeons this year for a first.

dazza Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I've seen more pigeons down here than ever before. All the fields are still standing so I haven't been out yet. Seen the combine getting the once over this morning so they'll be cutting before the weekend if the weather holds :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballymac Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Was speaking to farmer about an hour ago, and told me that should have another few fields cut and harvested by this evening so looks like I need to get in there. He said that he reckons he is the first or one of the first farmers in with the barley. On another note does anyone know what the yield per acre is for barley, wheat etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballymac Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) just back in from work and seen combine in another field I have permission on, although there are lots of green pateches looks like farmer is going to harvest anyway. Feel like taking a few hours off every day and sitting in a hide and see what appears. Things starting to warm up around here Gareth why not try the forum sponsor for stuff, you can get a members discount.
