@@andrewwatson1698A previous boss of mine, when he first started farming was told to go on holiday for a week when his barley was fit!! He did so and when he came back home over half the heads were on the deck!! So from then on he always started before it was really fit. He spent a fair bit on drying it, but we always got it in the grain store in good time!!
I feel for you Olly. Yesterday a hot, sunny intervals kind of day very muggy. I was pulling ragwort for 8 hrs. Here's today pi55ing with rain. I'm in Dorset. I hate this climate.
Lovely weather sunny at Great Eccleston perfect for tidying up the show field ,Morgan's tee shirt is perfect colour t shirt and hivis in one . Thank you for attending the show it was very much appreciated by us all .
Good to see the combines starting to roll, I could smell the barley ask you were cutting it, harvest smells never leave you. been dry here (Elgin - Scotland) although rain was forecast.
No rain here and I believe around 95% humidity, temperature low 40’s but that is Abu Dhabi. 99% today, we had a chat with the company due to build our new yacht, everything is going really well.
Unbelievable - you just get the header on and it starts raining!! Fantastic blog Olly, photo of the combine and Fendt for next years calendar? Sure looks great.😊
Hi olly, its been raining all afternoon and still raining tonight in south snowdonia, still hoping for better weather to get some silage and hopefully some hay, feeling 80% and thats all down to the poor summer we are having here. Nice to see the harvesting is underway!
Great to see the Combine out. Been putting all the things away today at Gt Ecc Show ground. Hope it gets better weather soon Sorry yield was down that will probably be the norm from now on feeling 90% today and Olly brilliant video again
Good luck with harvest Olly and the team , nice to see you have made a start. Had a little rain this afternoon , but expecting quite a bit overnight here in Suffolk . 75% Today .
Made a start at lunchtime on OSR and just finished my tea at 00.10, we had a shower late afternoon then It chucked it down just before 11 to call it a day with 3ha left in the block 😡 ! South Norfolk
Great to see the combine out. Was cool seeing the live aswell. We had light spits of rain in dublin. If it rains an inch will you have to shake the straw out then row it up again before bailing. Great video as always. 95% today
Great to see you out combining. Just a shame you didn't have our weather here in Vancouver, Canada, 33 Celsius today. No rain on the forecast for over a week.
Hi olly, we had rain in cornwall , it's good to see you out in the combine making a start. Today I was a local agricultural show, one big dealer was worried at what way agricultural is going to to go with regards to the new government. As he said they hold a lot of money in stock.🤔
Warm sunny start, light shower at lunchtime and then cloudy for the rest of the day in West Suffolk. Get the barley straw baled and in the dry, reckon its going to be worth a fair bit this winter.
Nice work Olly, you've got some good choices for the 2025 calendar shots from that video. PS: You deffo need to go for a colour change on those weight blocks. I'd go with a wrap, 1: Easier to get an accurate colour match plus. 2: You could fancy it up how you would like it because it's computer generated. Saves the hassle of painting or signwriting. 😉👍. Blue sky warm and dry till late afternoon in Preston then got fine drizzle and a short series of showers. Good job I got the washing out on the line, dried and back in before it started. 👌.
Wet as an otters pocket here in Dorset, but managed to get the hay in on Friday with minutes to spare! Need to rethink weather sources, despite them covering all base's, they still get it wrong.. barley is looking good sir! 😊
Good to see you making a start Olly even if it was short lived. Ive got a spare bag of grass seed if you want it for patching up Brookhouse or anywhere else. Cheers Andy
No rain with us until this evening, I'm near Charlotte Ashley's farm but weather warning for heavy rain tomorrow😕 I get dawn (DWN) but is the other not DYL if so Dilys😃
🤞🏼for at least some good fields for you this harvest. You need to release some new merch so we can all get buying - help the income stream. It rained most of the day down here in East Devon, the sun made a very late appearance, just before it set 🙄 The twins really are great looking machines.
Hi Olly , I have always said to myself if I was mad enough to go back , “ I retired in 1997 age 55 “ I would go into Fendt instead of John Deere . All best for a reasonable harvest considering the atrocious conditions you’ve had to work with . I live on the west coast of Ireland now , and drive across to the U. K. Northamptonshire , so not too far from you before I head down the M56 /M6 , so might go north a bit and call in . All the best Olly .
Hi Olly great video it's been dry here in South Shields Tyne and wear the 2 new tractors look fantastic I don't think that they will be clean for long..😀😀😎😎40%
Stafford area started raining about 3.30 and is still lashing down now very heavy rain at that as for the weight block I think a rap would be best as it’s easy to change the colour in the future stay 💪
No rain here in Dumfries Olly but overcast all day and around 20 degrees. Whens James getting his first electric toy tractor. Surely if its good enough for dad and Martin its good enough for him. 🤔🤔🤔. Cummon get the wallet oot. 😂❤️
The front weight looks good but doesn't match the black Fendt, as you said. Wrap the front weight black and do the same with the Valtra while your at it. You could probably find someone to do the job for a small fee for a little publicity. The twins. DWN - Dawn and DXL - Dixie? Anyhow. As always a great video!
Started off sunny this morning then started spitting mid afternoon then heavy rain late afternoon aand is still raining now. NE Derbyshire. Drying cost for combining in the rain, I suppose it 's a trade off
20% moisture “oh that’s fine” 😳 maybe if you are on wood chip with a RHI contract. Don’t know anybody else that would be combining at that halfway through July
