UK Harvest 2020! Episode 14 

In Louth the spring barley is all done but the spring oats are still green

@@Doyler-rv1dk most of the barley is being cut now but there's a few fields still only turning colour there's the odd spring wheat field too

Ya same with us

I mean 35mm water in August :D

Your welcome! yes the barley is going for malting.

Not to bad then

not great I think it did 5.8T

Can't say anything about his specifics but I think I can clear up the farm 1,2,3 issue. Most farms (collection of fields) have existed a long time and the fields associated with them didn't change much. Traditionally it would be 1 farm 1 farm yard (the sheds) and the farm yard would be positioned optimally in the middle so harvest wouldn't have to be carted too far in any one direction (remember horse power). However, in the last century with modern agriculture being less labour intensive and more productive many traditional farms are not profitable enough to support a family. That's why these days many old farms have been effectively merged into one operation that can spread the cost out over the larger area creating better profit per acre. Although these old farms are working as one business its likely on paper they are still registered as different properties. Why spend money on having the land registries altered when its not necessary? Farm 1 was probably owned first and 2 and 3 were acquired later. Although in the deeds they probably aren't called farm 1,2,3 but have a more traditional English farm name like "grange farm" which would indicated it was once owned by the church. There are a lot of grange farms in England.

Martin Gibbs good explanation Martin. I remember Andy saying he numbered them for privacy/security reasons . Totally understandable as this platform is so open

lol you wouldn't even fit 7 combines in some of our fields! that's quite a set up they have there!
