In most years the harvest behind our home is completed in one operation. The Combine harvests, the tractors and trailers collect the grain and run off to deliver it to the farm a couple of miles away, the baler bales the straw, and the round bales are collected all in one day, leaving stubble ready for the plough. Quite a production line. I think that “rain stopped play this year”, and the fields down to the river are in various stages of the harvest. The bales still sit in the field behind us, and further down the valley there is still lying straw, and some areas of uncut wheat.
