Fredwalton Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hello currently up in Scotland but return later this week and so instead if texting the farmer again about his rape field thought I would ask on here if people in Suffolk have notice any harvest activities especially in the stowmarket area?
