Harvest 2025

Four fire engines attended the blaze, which saw a combine harvester catch fire in a Suffolk field.

Jeremy Clarkson has described this year’s harvest at Diddly Squat as “catastrophic”, prompting a debate on food security.

Yields are improving as the harvest 2025 continues, despite stop-start progress over the last couple of weeks caused by short spells of often heavy rain, according to AHDB’s latest harvest report.

The Recommended List winter barley harvest results have just been published, reporting yields above the five-year average. Winter oilseed rape yields remain variable, according to AHDB.

While eggs are the primary focus at Aberdeenshire’s Farmlay Eggs, the business also grows cereals, including winter and spring barley, winter oilseed rape, and winter wheat. The farm has just started the 2025 harvest.

Although this year’s harvest kicked off earlier than usual, intermittent and often heavy rainfall has slowed the progress, according to the AHDB’s second harvest report of 2025.

Four fire crews were sent to a combine harvester fire that took place last night on a field in Essex.

Farmer Ben Aveling has provided Farmers Guide with the latest harvest insights from Radmore Farm in Northamptonshire.

Long dry spells in the spring and recent hot temperatures mean that harvest is off to the fastest start since at least 2006, with multiple reports of winter barley being cut in June, AHDB said.
