JDog Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 After a poor winter the birds will go mad for the first protein available. It sounds as though they are already on the fields so without further delay............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 A bit early for peas I would think more likely to be spring barley or late winter wheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be too hopeful about shooting the same field on Saturday - they may have moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
