First field of tundra beans coming off well at 5t/ha , shelling a few with the header but can see there going to be more of a challenge as temperatures climb #harvest25

On Monday while we waited for the crap weather to pass we caught up on a milling job for a customer doing oats and beans , if your in or around Cambridgeshire and need some cereals rolled give us a shout no job to big or small 07940021132

Planet spring barley , some surprisingly reasonable yields 7t ha , not much straw mind , 2nd field was thin due to early drilling and bloody slugs only doing 6tha , hopefully finish barley tomorrow and get on wheat , so far seems stuff held on well on the Warboys silt #harvest25

Spring barley all done into some champion wheat on some of my heaviest land here at Rowells , coming of at a good 9t ha if not a bit more long may it continue , pictures courtesy of meals on wheels keeping us fed #harvest25 #farm24

Decent day at the wheat , one shed full yields all over the place , 100 acres left to go hoping that I run out of space in the next shed would be a nice problem to have 🤣 , 60 acres done today and not a late one . The lexion in its element in fit dry wheat #harvest25

Another 50 acres down 50 left let’s hope Cefetra Grain get some loads shifted as we’re full which means Sunday off , catch up on some sleep and time with the other half , very average day of very average wheat , gleam really not shone this year #harvest25

Not very good at having a day off … getting some baking done in the cooler temps so we make some decent bales , just aswell I don’t count my hours a week food for thought though all this commitment and stress and long hours should be valued far more than it is #harvest2025

Like Groundhog Day , another late one , went baling this morning for a few hours then in the office and out to get filters for the tractor , quick nap interrupted by loading a lorry soon, baler and tractor serviced up and we’re back here again #harvest25 #poweredbycoffee

Another steady night baling on decent straw making 4fts that I’ve sold to customers , can’t wait for some cooler temps as baling in the early hours is no fun #harvest25

Finally back to cutting hopefully the last day , started on some jan drilled wheat behind beet , my worst field all round . Black grass ✅ Rubbish yeild ✅ Exspensive establishment as took more passes . Thankfully it’s only 4ha in future I won’t bother with late wheat #harvest25

#harvest25 over and out , best described as the most average harvest going , thanks to Kev for carting the grain Emma for feeding us and dad for back up and support . Time for a beer

Off to buy my new Range Rover on all the harvests profit

Now I’m finished combining I need ti find another way to just get as itchy , productive Friday loaded straw Lorries , moved some beans from mine to dads to mill and then come out to roll 45 tonne for a customer this evening

Bale cart complete - well apart from the stuff to go on Lorry’s but all our own straw for feed and bedding is under a roof been a long few days up and down the 142 #britishbeef #mixedfarming

Having a evening read of Farmers Guide and 5 pages of nothing but farm sales which really does sum up how broken our industry is . Equally who will buy all of this kit when the industry in such a slump

Do love a early morning email of a grain claim for admix - do piss off I really hate the grain market of how here’s what we will give you but we will soon take off any premium in deductions #graintrade

Second cut on some heavy clay 🙈 , luckily we’ve plenty of silage and won’t be depending on this rubbish 4th year ryegrass lay is absolutely had it lucky it was already planned to be ripped up for maize , it looks like I’ve already sprayed it off 🤯

Big harvest profits mean we can spend renewing some essential kit , blown the whole budget and brought a bigger broom head . Next year might be a bumper year and we can stretch to a new handle #farmprofits
