It's been afew days since we last got out with the combine! Diabolical harvest conditions to date with spring barley and wheat cut to date averaging 22% moisture. Looks like the first decent harvest weather window due to arrive for the 1st September! #aboutbloodytime
This view from the office window is going to take some beating for me for a good while! #AngusGlens #Scotland

300acres drilled to date, all spring beans baring this one field of spring oats that we snatched in before the rain got heavy 6days ago. >40mm rain since then and counting! #Relentless
LG Raptor spring beans direct drilled on 9th March. Very light sandy soil and droughts quickly. Early drilling will hopefully increase our root mass and access to water and nutrients when the drough arrives!
When despair just makes you burst into laughter moment tonight! 60mm rain forecast for next week! 🤦♂️🤷♂️😂

Caught up drilling mintill osr on this farm, popping in a wee bit of rye & vetch direct with the pronto for the 🐄 to graze this winter.
Started direct drilling oilseed rape today, surprisingly good conditions. #harvest24
100% on board with the notion as a species we're influencing increase on average global temp & detrimentally effecting the ozone layer! BUT there are global 5yr weather cycles involving the trade winds called La Niña & EL Niño. We have not had a EL Niño in over 4 years!🤷♂️

LG Raptor spring beans looking very well this evening Pods developing nicely, no signs of chocolate spot but the odd bit of downy mildew with the wetter weather of late.

#Claydon direct drilled LG Raptor spring beans eventually enjoying some warmth & 🌞. This crop is following stripped spring barley and an over wintered cover grazed with sheep.
Back out with the drill again helping a neighbour with barley after veg before the rain is forecast to arrive again!⏳

LG Diablo established well post over wintered covers grazed Dec with @AlexanderBrews2 ewe lambs, just needing some heat and sun shine now! Maybe in May 🤞
KWS Dawsum wiping the floor with our existing 3 varieties on septoria. Direct drilled behind stripped spring oats looking promising. First year with this variety, we're in desperate need of something new thats strong on septoria.

We have moved on from snow angels to wheat angels, keeping #cropwalking fun!
25mm of rain yesterday has allowed time for reflection! A big team effort with 850acres drilled in 7 days so far 💪👌👍
