From Lincolnshire to Hampshire, Suffolk to Essex, winter barley and oilseed rape harvests are now underway in a number of counties across the UK.

We’ve rounded up 15 tweets that we think best represent the mood across the country.

What that hiding by the workshop? Wait for the damp to disappear then we will give it a go #harvest15 @FWharvest pic.twitter.com/W3XGUXEJaq

Yesterday morning Essex oilseed rape grower Ed Ford was primed and ready for his harvest to begin. All he needed was a little sunshine.

A few hours later the combine entered the first field…

Well we are underway with #harvest15. Moisture just under 10%. No idea of yield yet @fwharvest pic.twitter.com/j3uVRHIrLt

It was a similar story for one Norfolk grower.

Meanwhile near Bath in Somerset, some growers resorted to wearing waterproofs.

After a very dry spell a few weeks back, it seems all those rain dances worked with a delayed reaction. Hertfordshire got a soaking last night…

Unbelievable amount of rain last night. 68mm in about an hour. The clover will appreciate it but about 6 weeks too late for everything else.

The weather was kinder to farmers in Cambridgeshire.

The farm had 0.5mm rain last night. #luckyescape

Over in Suffolk, Ben Martin was pleased to see his harvest commence on a day other than a Sunday.

Lovely afternoon to kick off #harvest15 makes a change from it being on a Sunday. pic.twitter.com/5lUZjkTL1c

Work to prepare oilseed rape crops for harvest was underway in Nottinghamshire.

Others were still a way off harvest but itching to get going.

A year ago today we started #harvest2014 with #OSR. This year OSR is still 2 weeks off and #barley at least 10 days. #keentobeon #harvest15
