CX820Joe Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Just wondering - are there any crops which are still to be done in the UK? I can remember beans and peas being september crops at one point, though I haven't seen any peas being grown around Shropshire for years now. Linseed was another - I think it was actually into November one year when I saw a Claas Dominator 85 start on a field of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robl12 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Having been travelling about over the past few days pretty much everything is down have seen the odd field of barley most waiting on contractors. Alot of ground has been undersown don't know if they foresaw the price crash. £40 a ton is all lindseys are giving for feed barley lots of standing crop was sold to farmers with combines as it didnt pay growers to get contractors in as it would have made a loss. Saw several people now into the tatties and also some second cut silage just been done. Lots of rape gone in and still quite a bit of winter barley.
