With harsh weather for harvest ground in poor condition and the barley toppled over with wind and rain Mark from Drumcroon Farm working the New Holland CX5.80. With the barley only a few inches high and in some cases flat to the ground its almost like a salvage job.

A normal site for farming last harvest with yields and straw down and the ever increasing prices. Winter barley was burned off on the 8th July and it took to the 3rd of August to combine the field. Orwell yielded well with an average yield of 2.95 tonne / acre

Remarkable job documenting this event.    Keep up the amazing work.  

Growing up on a farm my grandfather taught me that a farmer has to be an optimist or he wouldn't still be a farmer.  He also said a good farmer is nothing more nor less than a handy man with a good sense of humor.

yea tho glad I got this then some really nice standing crop as well

Possibly the worst conditions for harvesting with the crop flattened by the weather. Tough job.

Curious you mention burning the fields,     I thought that had been banned years ago,   are they some exceptions to that.
