Stumpy69 will be along in a minute. He’s got the app on his phone that identifies such plants. Or perhaps JDog will give us its Latin name. There’s some clever folk on this forum that’s for sure.

My guess would be linseed.

Latest photo certainly rules out my idea of linseed. As said, does look like Chamomile.

You’re probably correct.

Certainly looks like a crop of chamomile, possibly growing to harvest the flowers. Interesting to see what they do.

If you're very lucky you might even get to see Jennifer Ehle frolicking around in the summer.

how much lead would you give her....and would you pull thro...?

I would guess that it`s either being grown as a nitrogen fixer, or possibly for biofuel via an anaerobic digester.

Interesting to find out though.

Hopefully Muncher will ask the farmer and let us know.

I don't think Chamaemelum nobile fixes nitrogen and if it's grown for biomass or even a break crop I would have thought it would have been planted more densely?

There's a huge demand for chamomile, not just for teas but you can buy large bags for horse feed etc.
