Rye harvested started on the 3rd July with DH Barnes
doing the foraging with his new CLAAS 960, 5.2m disc drive header.
Crops in general good considering the growing season we have had,
but normally we would have expected to have seen more tillering in
a 'normal' year. This aside, the groups adjusted yield is hovering
around 32t/ha when adjusted to 37%DM with the avg DM at harvest
being about 34%, so not a disaster. Harvesting about 25ha a day so
we should be done by the 11th July if we have a good
wind behind us.

The first of the grass has started to be collected today and
clamped at the biogas plant. Yields are very good considering the
spring we have had. Now for a quick turnaround in the field so we
can get the maize drilled. In an attempt to achieve this we are
applying 50m3 of liquid digestate which is going to be ploughed
down and then we will drill with maize. This will provide
sufficient nutrients to the growing maize crop through to
harvest.

Maize drilling continues with both the F8 and TPV12. Area
drilled is now 42% in just 5 days so acres are being covered. The
first of the maize drilled last week is almost through, so it just
shows how much the soils have warmed up. Rapid emergence being
seen. A little rain today will do the world of good. Growers need
to be mindful if using a pre emergence spray to get this on
immediately post drilling.
