[mossy835]

i have now tonight 2 fields of linseed cut, do any one find the pigeons come into it.or had any fun on it.

I have had some limited success when it first sprouts, but on drilling, or after harvesting, its been a bit dead.

This could be because the birds have so much alternative food in my area at the same time.

I think the major factor in todays farming is when I first grew linseed in the early 90s the haverst time was more like late sept than early sept and this meant alot less stubbles around which equaled more birds on it.

 

Its like beans now we use cut the first and second week of oct now it more like late august which also cuts down on the huge numbers attracted and shot on beans stubbles now.

 

So keep a eye on it when they push the chaff up for burning it can make a cracking hide as well.

 

 

Kind regards OTH
