The wheat harvest finished at the beginning of August and most of the beans were combined during August. However, it wasn't until 2nd September that the last field of spring beans were harvested. As expected, the yield wasn't very good and it was a difficult crop to combine because the plants were so short.
So, at last harvest 2011 is finished and all is safely gathered in.

The big wheels have been taken off the tractor and rowcrop wheels fitted. These tyres are narrow and won’t damage the plants as the tractor drives along the tramlines (the strips in the fields with no crops) but changing the wheel size means the sprayer has to be recalibrated so we’ve been measuring out a 100 metre strip to work it out.
The beans in Grove Field have grown considerably since January, but some rain would be good. Though maybe after Easter.
