Barley and wheat crops poor, combine vs bales?

Jazz, for a lot of the barley out west, it’s either just cut the heads or leave it. Large amount of acres aren’t mor than 6 or 8 inches tall.

IMO we have to have one eye out into 2022 now. That field will be a table top after its combined. And if we get the kind of winter they are predicting (cold, little precip) well right back in the same boat again.

How much winter snowfall and spring rain fall would we need to bring in above average crop next year and possibly weather another hot July? In some places, that number has to be outside our typical annual precip now after this yr. I dont like gambling on just in time rainfall.

All fields here and in most areas out west here will be table top . There is no way around that this year unless you leave strips in fields

Leaving strips might be a good idea.👍
