Hay Cut...

[CRUSADER]

Had about 5 hay cut fields to try, didn't know what to expect as it was all new land. Sadly, after 2.5 hours of burning we gave up with very little to show for our efforts. Still it was nice to explore new land, & we only tickled it.

What was much better news was the early start of the Harvest

Its the first combine on any of our land, bringing in the Barley crop. So UKers, ring them farmers & check you haven't got a couple of early Barley stubble land options next weekend
However, the fields are not on our hit list, so not that exciting, but it does mean we are close

Good barley cut, a little plowing, rolling, add a dash of rain. Sounds good.

ok Cru I gotta ask my friend , why dont you hunt the Barley fields ?

 

[Deepdiger60]

The hay fields here all where just cut down soon they will be scratching the surface to plant rye so i might have a few weeks to hunt the fields .Nice finds Dd60

 

[CRUSADER]

ok Cru I gotta ask my friend , why dont you hunt the Barley fields ?

Depending on the availability of fields, I would hunt anyway. All I said is that its not on the hit list - meaning that we have a list of great sites to hunt & when the harvest is in full swing we will not even have time to do the good sites well. This barley field although not on the list, may get hunted next week due to lack of options. Out of all the crop types Barley has the softest stubble, so I like it for that reason alone (plus its the earliest harvested). Pity it wasn't a better field, but as the crops rotate our luck will change next year!

[Irchr]

Nice finds, glad you were able to get out. If your farmer friends need any parts for the combines, let me know. I live right down the road from a Used Combine place that sells parts all over the world, heck at the other end of the road is a Used Tractor dealer. I always say, I live in the middle of the millionairs. LOL.

Do they ever plow the fields over there after harvest? Over here in Ohio USA. they just want to do no till. I wish they would plow once in awhile.

Nice finds and neat pictures Thanks and good luck.
