    Finished the winter barley yesterday, not sure how it did yet as still tipped in the shed waiting on the haulier!
    Counting the trailers, it could be over 4 tonne/acre, but not going get too carried away until its all delivered.

    All winter barley cut in this area with mighty crops of straw and reports of good yield.

    Some oats cut but only getting going. Spring barley all standing as we missed most if the rain but I was down Carlow way during week and see crops flattened after heavy rain

    Straw should be a bit cheaper

    Reports are of a difficult straw market.
