al4x Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 A few years ago I noticed a field of standing barley with a couple of small laid patches. I asked the farmer could I shoot it and he said fill your boots on 1 condition, you bring a dog with you and pick-up ALL the birds. He said that when they bale the straw after harvest the feathers can choke his livestock. it can be worse than that certainly in silage or whole crop wheat etc it can cause serious disease issues. Wheat round here though is unlikely to be baled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
