Nice clean sample of beans. No weights yet but looking like 1.5t. Never planted so late and never harvested so early.

Looking at them now, how do you think they will fare Cork?
That's a great yield for the year @rustymcsocks :Thumbp2:

Nope, the full 3mil fund was going to be all used no matter the acres

Due to no fault of their own plenty of lads fell below 1.0 t/ac around here. For many of them their protein aid cheque will be greater than their bean cheque.

Well, we cut the 24ac of summer beans yesterday. Sown on the 19th of May.
Spend was a grand total of €161/acre including machinery operations.
Couldn't believe it but they yielded 1.47tn/ac of nice dry beans. Sowing so late would have been a disaster in most years but the weather to harvest them and the combination of price and protein aid saved the day.
11stn of Boxer seed/ac. 1 run of Signum and a run of Reglone to dry up the weeds etc. No fertiliser, no weed spray. Strip tilled, no roller, two passes of the sprayer, harvested and delivered.
Also ended up with a fresh field for wheat that we weren't expecting to have.
There were areas that had no beans as the ground was still so wet at planting. The slots of the drill didn't close up in most of the field. The plan had been seed spring barley but it would have been a dead loss if we tried to plant it in those conditions.
We make the best plans we can and things don't always work out that way!!

Claas hillsider? Cool.
Not direct drill the wheat afterwards you’ll be flying it altogether

Yep a Montana as they call them. He can do crazy stuff with it - leans her over when filling into low trailers to avoid grain flying around the place.
I’m watching to see if anything regrows after the Reglone to see if it needs roundup or not.

I've often had plenty of the other kind of luck - as they say "if it were raining soup then I'd have a fork"....

Considering the crop and sowing date, the approach you took to manage the crop spray wise. That is a very good result.

I love those wexford Olives
I always think olives in Ireland do not taste the same as in warmer countries. Me thinks @Hardysplicer spends too much time in Greenacres looking at the rich and famous.
