Great pics.

I used to love harvest time as a kid. Walking by the combine with sticks hopelessly trying to hit rabbits as they made a bolt for it and the driver with a loaded shotgun at his side hoping to get one too; riding in the grain trailers as they were filled and hanging in them as they were tipped! H&S would have had a fit and looking back it was so dangerous.

Looking good - what moisture is it coming off the harvester. With the price of kero, all the guys around us are hoping for a dry harvest.

 

winter barley was good, nothing cut over 14%, osr was yielding very well but moistures from 9 - 12.5% and wheat, nothing cut above 15%, mostly about 13.5 :) all yields on our heavy clay have been fairly good considering

Had some good days fox shooting while the combine is still working, a gun at each end the row and waiting for them to come out. They sit tight untill the last minute.

Harvesting was going well for us. Dry osr and plenty of it. Not bad when its selling for £400+ a tonne. Then the Boss taken ill last monday and died that night. The fittest 62 year old you will meet and the best boss you could ever work for. Lifes a bitch. But harvest must continue. Day off tomorrow they recon 500+ coming to his funeral the church can only take about 50 at a squeeze hope it dont rain.
