Wheat and spring barley still to be cut in Scotland

摘要

Harvest is becoming a torrid affair in Scotland, with almost continual rain frustrating efforts to cut remaining crops. Inverness and Morayshire are the worst-affected areas, with at least 70% of the wheat and 40% of the spring barley crops still to cut. "The wheat has been ready for seven to 10 days, and is now sprouting in the ear," said Simon Barry,chief executive of Highland Grain.
