We increased the number of people on the hand harvesting (Gleaning) crew last week, we have now 37 teams of three. They have picked up and hand threshed just about 50 ton to date, probably another 50 to go. My best estimate is that we are missing about 150 to 200kg per ha. The field is 600ha so wait and see I guess. One of our fellows drives around with the land cruiser and picks up the bags of sorghum, they then take the 10bags or so and the group leaders (about five per trip) they weight the bags then send them up the auger to add to the ground pile.
The machine harvesting should be complete in two or so days and then we will swap the auto steer into the tractor and plant the other 400ha field. There is good moisture under it and with the long rains just about here we will plant sorghum dry fairly shallow.
