tabs Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Have seen a number of freshly drilled fields over the last wek or two, but cant work out what it is. Couldnt find anything in the ground to identify what was being sown. Any ideas lads? Tabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popgun Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Could be Kale or Turnips if it is you wont see the small dark seeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 They are drilling vining peas in my area at the moment, it could be anything. If its on land you shoot over, ask the Farmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabs [/quote The farmer I shoot for has just drilled two fields when I asked him what he has put in he told me grass to put texture into the ground, he should get one maybe two cuts this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 This late in the season...maybe peas or more likely sugar beet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 not in Bedfordshire it won't be sugar beet, my guess would be peas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookiemonsterandmerlin. Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 It could be vetches if I my spellings right or it could be maize as its drilled very deep. OTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabs Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I think it is likely to be beet on one farm, farmer grows it for stock feed, not usually anywhere near the same amount though. I will have to ask about the others. Thanks for your thoughts. Tabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
