Country Boy Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 You will have to wait now until the new crop list comes out. THis could be November-ishJonno Yep - Jonno is correct, we usually receive a field list in November. HARVEST: During harvest the crops are cut and the grain etc removed leaving short stalks called stubble. Harvest begins in July and continues through August, some of the harvested fields remain in stubble until late September. OILSEED RAPE: This crop is planted during August and September, it often follows a crop such as barley. It will emerge in about 10-14 days after being sown and each 'plant' has 3 or 4 green leaves which look a bit like v.small 'dandilion' leaves. It can grow strongly during September but come the winter months(cold-hopefully) it stops growing, restarting new growth in late March/April this is also the time spring rape can be sown. If your a shrewd decoyer you can shoot over it most of the time !! Cheers C.B. :~} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogey Welcome to NPPC Hogey, if you've got list 50 keep it for reference only because if there is any rape stubble up your way remaining pigeons wont decoy on to it now, you will have to call John and check if he has any other 'hotspots'. He got me on some wheat stubble near Selby last week but thats just been ploughed in. Cheerio C.B.:~} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
