malcy_p Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 This year there is loads of maize being grown close to the cottage, apparently for fuel in a new biomass power station at Bentwaters Park. Guess it'll be chopped with a forager, but I'll try to get photos when it goes happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they just use the grain to produce the fuel like they do with milo in America to produce ethanol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 its been a better year for the harvest than last years wash out, though I have had a bad knee so haven't ventured very far, and most of what I've seen has been one combine (you know which one) but they seem to be getting through their wheat now and the beans are ripening nicely, so possibly won't be a september 20th finish this year!

malcy_p Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Weird orange front wheels, and very tiny rears... At F-reg this must have been one of the first Senators in the country - although nowhere on the combine does it say Senator, or Mercator, or anything. And it has a different Claas logo on the rear hood, normally they are the red square/white logo type! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy140 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Thats one rather large header. I read about it in the famers weekly and it looked big in there but looks even bigger there also I think ford fans may like this- http://www.midsuffolkagriphotos.co.uk/gallery/gp2581.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robl12 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Round here it has been a case of getting stuff done between the rain very few are even in the spring barley yet oats are also several weeks off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
