Harvest so far?

All this rural living space and no mention of harvest yet? Or no arable people on here? We've just finished winter barley. 4 bloody short foggy days to cut 80 acres. Hope the rest goes better, how is everyone else getting on?

you arable farmers aren't proper farmers Grin only joking

Hay and silaging is going well. Lovely weather up here in the north west for a change!

Seem to be dancing alone on this one then. And the update? Oilseed rape went ok, wheat so far is shit - combine broken down all day, too bloody cold for grain to dry, weather getting wetter (probably straight after paying extra for sunday delivery of combine parts) and grain prices in freefall. Remind me again why the suicide rate is so high in agriculture?
