SHARING OPTIONS: It will not be long now until stubbles will once again be a feature of the tillage landscapes. \ Donal O'Leary Harvest soon: With July upon us, the start of harvest is just around the corner for some, but weeks away for others.

A year ago that was between 40% and 45%. There is still life in many winter barley crops and the alternating warm and cool weather is prolonging grain fill.
