Better in the bogey than on the ground
ELGIN farmers and agricultural contractors WD Beaton were this week finally getting in the last of their spring barley, which has been standing in the field since the weather broke a few months back. On December 29, with the barley dry enough and the ground able to hold the combine, they successfully combined 12 acres with average yield of 1.5 tonne to the acre (Photo: Sarah Beaton)
