Last September I watched as the farmer sowed the seed for this crop,now eleven months later I'm here again watching him harvest.
No chance of talking this time, it's fine today but rain is forecast later
on this week. It wont be long before he's back to plough and sow some
barley, for next years crop.
Off to discharge his load of oilseed rape.
Each seed is about 1/16" in diameter.
Back for another cut, none stop work until the job is done.
The chaff is discharged out of the back of the combine and will beploughed into the ground within the next fortnight.
This is cool to see. I love seeing oilseed rape when it's in bloom, but I've never seen how it gets harvested. This was really interesting. Thanks for posting.
