The Final Countdown to Harvest 2026, and the Fertiliser Squeeze on the Horizon

It is the final week before harvest, and there is a huge amount to get done. In this episode we get the combines and chaser bins fired up and ready, fill the tanks with fuel, welcome the harvest team back for the season, and work through the long list of jobs that has to be ticked off before the first field is cut.We also sit down for two proper deep dives. First we talk grain store hygiene with Tony, the self styled guardian of the grain, covering how to keep stored grain in top condition, the truth about smoke bombs, and the new rules on rodent control. Then John Fuller joins us to inspect the new fertiliser store and bund, and to give an honest and slightly worrying look at where the fertiliser market is heading, from the global nitrogen squeeze to the case for buying early.Elsewhere on the farm there is concrete going down, a clever trailer conversion taking shape, the pool nearing completion for a pre harvest splash, and the barley getting closer to ripe with a big heatwave on the way.From honest expert conversations to the last jobs before the combines roll, this is another look behind the scenes of a modern farming business.For those interested in our new merchandise: https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/Chapters:0:00 Intro2:50 Getting the chaser bins ready3:35 The big week before harvest6:00 Loading out the grain store8:09 Combining the protein spray and T39:57 The fertiliser bund takes shape11:11 Is the barley ready?12:24 The first combine fired up14:02 A new accommodation trailer build17:09 Reflecting on the party18:06 Liquid fertiliser in the field20:36 The pool and a pre harvest splash21:39 Grain store hygiene with Tony29:32 New rules on rodent control36:26 John Fuller inspects the bund39:43 Where the fertiliser market is heading46:11 Getting the containment right53:51 The case for buying early56:54 Countdown to harvestP.X.
