A great spell of weather towards the end of this week has given us the opportunity to finish getting our Winter Barley harvested. I am pleased with the yield after quite a wet winter and particularly dry spring, which made growing a bit of a slow process.

It’s a relief all-round for my team, as we get our new combine harvester racing through these early crops…as you can see, this state-of-the-art machinery is making short work of cutting, thrashing and collecting the Barley Crop, leaving a nice trail of straw behind to be bailed and sold for animal herd use elsewhere on other farms.

Look out for further interesting posts as our harvest season progresses.
