How far off is harvest?

Well I thought I would start a topic that we can all post up some pics of the harvest near us or the harvest at your farm.

Also a little question to start us off: " How long until the combines get harvesting? "

Oh yes, I do mean the usual arable crops, barley, oil seed rape etc etc.

This can be open for anyone and everyone, if you see a combine giver it a shout here.

Also it will give a nice insight to how the harvest time changes across the uk and Ireland.

I think harvest in the midlands (Derbyshire ) will be about two weeks at least until they get cutting

Its looking like 2-3weeks before we get going in the rape, going to start desicating next week. All dependent on the weather, looks like some barley local on light ground may going sooner, but we have none so got to wait that bit longer to get the green fleet rolling.

Spring barley looks like another 6 to 7 weeks off but I guess some winter barley will be cut in 3 weeks time - wheat still very green so will be late this year - south east Ireland - the premier barley growing county ;D

North of England  there might be some barley cut in July but I doubt it. Some OSR will be sprayed and may just be combined in July too. Wheat is months away.  ;D

have seen one farm doing it but the rest 2 to 3 weeks

One or two crimping at the moment.

barley up here is getting very close to the time, wheat though, still green in places

not seen any OSR swathed yet....

on another note, quite a few combines being moved along the A1, i think for Demos, JD up the A1, Massey down the A1, near Stamford, header was set for OSR  as it had the side shears on ;)

Here in sunny aberdeenshire ::)

We will be looking at around end of july august for osr and winter barley, towards end of august onwards for winter wheat and spring barley it is not uncommon to see the last of the oats and barley harvested up to october.

I was dashing home along the M62 crossing the A1 at ferrybridge in sunshine on Friday, thinking that all of a sudden a few of the fields look well on. It's usually next weekend (off to RIAT at Fairford) when I see the first harvest a bit further south !
