The UK harvest is progressing quickly due to favorable weather conditions, with key crops like winter barley, winter oilseed rape, and wheat showing disappointing yields, which are below the five-year average.

As of that date, the UK winter barley harvest is now all but compete and only a small proportion left to be cut in Northern Ireland. Similarly, the UK winter oilseed rape (WOSR) harvest progress advanced from 73% to 93% complete, while the wheat harvest reached 37%. AHDB's report shows that 22% of oats have been cut and 7% of spring barley. Helen Plant, senior analyst at AHDB, said: "Variation in planting date and crop development could now mean a break in the harvest for some as some fields are not yet fit. "For wheat, this is especially true where crops are thinner and secondary tillering has taken place." However, winter cereal and oilseed rape yields are continuing to disappoint, according to the ...
