Harvest 09: Rain frustrates in Wilts
Rain this morning (30 July) frustrated David Hues’ efforts to continue combining at Galteemore Farm, Beckhampton, Wiltshire.
So far he had cut about 140ha (350 acres) of Sequel winter barley, and was pleased with above average yields.
“But prices are very disappointing and I think merchants are being rather harsh in their deductions,” he said.
Despite today’s rain he hoped to make a start on his oilseed rape tomorrow.

Duxford winter wheat is an HGCA Recommended List 2009/10 variety with very high UK treated yields and a maximum 9 rating for resistance to lodging with and without PGR. Combined with the highest second wheat yield and a balanced disease resistance profile, Duxford will continue to help UK growers meet the challenge of producing more grain profitably.
