2023 harvest continues to stop-start
Cereal grower James English & his son Jimmy, Ballylooby, Cahir, Co Tipperary started harvesting Armadillo six-row winter barley in late June. The crop yielded 3.5 tons per acre at 19% moisture & bushelled 65kph. Picture: O'Gorman Photography.
Despite the poor weather, many farmers are either finished or very close to being finished harvest. However, this is certainly not the case all across the country.
There is still quite a substantial amount of the harvest to conclude. The good weather so far this week is due to end today, with more persistent rain and showers forecast for the next three or four days.
