3.00pm - Wednesday 8th July 2026 4,403
It is the 7th of July, and we are cutting wheat. That is the earliest we have ever started in a whole career of farming, and a sign of just how much this hot, dry summer has brought everything forward. In this episode we take the very first wheat off, check the early moisture, bushel weights and protein, and place our bets on what the yield is going to be before the result is revealed.
Between fields there is a huge amount to catch up on. We continue the careful job of putting right the land damaged by the infrastructure projects crossing the farm, and take an honest look at the lasting yield hit we expect to see for years to come. We also get the fertiliser store secured with its new gate, press on with the soil and lime work ahead of the oilseed rape, and keep the straw and baling operation moving.
There are updates too on the tyre trials and the warranty conversation, and a look at some of the clever kit that keeps the straw coming in whatever the weather.
From our earliest ever start to the last of the barley ground being put right, this is another look behind the scenes of a modern farming business.
