I'd have to say I've never had winter wheat yield like it has this year. I had one field over six ton to the acre, barley and oats have done very well but the wheat has performed exceptionally well.
Anyone else finding the yield this year compared to other years very area dependant, some areas averaging up 5 to 10 percent and others just close to there norm
I had 3 fields of wheat all after osr and there was .8 of s tonne between best and worst but I'm putting that down to fertility and the poorest field was that thin 1 that got ate with slugs and crows in November, I had pics of it up in March when I rolled it but there is some huge yields out there but plenty normal enough 4.25-4.5 tonne crops but you'll never hear about them tho
High yields make headlines it will be interesting to see how much the average yields are up by the end of the year.
Our wheat is between 4 and 4.6
winter barley 3.3 to 4 plus, not all added up yet.
winter oats 4.1.
spring barley is getting it hard to break 3.
Those are farm yields, individual fields would have yielded better but whats the point in focusing on them, its the overall average the dictates profit or loss.
One man locally got 5.3 of winter wheat the same field last year did 2.25 of spring barley, another got a fantastic yield of 3.9 on spring barley, interestingly both those high yields came in second leys.

[MENTION=3048]ithastopay[/MENTION] that's the drill and black tractor you need. Matching front press too.
Black is the new green.

Bit late now... the red and yellow drill has joined up with the blue.
Options on tractor colour for the future are still wide open.
