Sharpshooter.123 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Right guys (or girls) my regular farmer is now drilling some fields and the pigeon are already showing alot of interest, am I right in thinking it's spring barley or could it be something else? He is on holiday for 3 months so I can't contact him to ask, the pigeons just look like they are dropping to the floor to eat mud but like I say there is 5-25 dropping in all the time? Thanks in advance matt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris o Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 It want be spring wheat or barley mate as not spring yet. It will be winter drillings. Sounds a bit late though to be doing the drillings with the cold weather expected he could lose the field as it will be to cold for the seed to germanate and could end up rotting. I could be wrong. But to find out what he is growing your best going to the field and just rooting through the soil and find a seed to identify. Hope this helps mate.

unapalomablanca Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Did you say holiday for three months. Thats a real holiday. Why not ask his son or brother if you can shoot, they always have someone around when they are away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter.123 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I can shoot it whenever I like, I can't contact him because he is in his villa in Spain (lucky **** I no) I have contacted his son but had no reply. Iv had a couple of bags but still in the woods atm should get better soon hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
