busdennis Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 got permission for a farm sowing beans which they started today, its too far away to watch the field so i need to pick a day and go. whats the best guess for how long will it take for then to find and start using it.

al4x Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 anything up to a week, though probably won't be long as most spring drilling will have germinated and be growing well by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocker3 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 cant you ask the farmer to keep an eye on them and when the birds start hitting them give you a call :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big simmo999 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 The birds will be on the spilliage - but it will only hold them for a day or two. Next danger time for the farmer is when the shoots come through (about 10 - 14 days after sowing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiser1977 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I have been watching four fields of sping beans and the only pigeons I have seen are the ones flying over it, not one has even taken an interest, . I suppose the only time they will hit them is when they have been harvested. I was looking at some freshly drilled hemp today but the only birds on them were sea gulls.
