The Tillage Edge chatted to Andy Mahon, who is a farm manager in North Bedfordshire in the UK.\xa0 Andy, originally from Dublin, is almost finished the harvest already.\xa0 Andy said this has been the earliest, and easiest harvest he has ever been involved in.\xa0 Crops developed earlier than normal through the spring and the lack of water has not helped yields.\xa0

Andy said yields are 10% lower than the farm long term averages but the quality is excellent and he is hoping wheat crops will achieve milling specification.\xa0 Andy is concerned about the high risks of production for next year but has purchased all the fertilisers already so he will continue growing wheat. \xa0
