I have it on good authority (not from the farmer though) that they are vetch seeds.

More importantly I wonder if they are to the pigeons liking?
Guessing they’re part of the pea family, certainly look that way!

Any ideas as to what these might be? Two fields were drilled with them yesterday.

Maple Peas.

 

Used for pigeon (racing variety) food amongst other things, one of which is carp fishing; they make a great bait, soaked for 24 hours and then brought to the boil and simmered until soft'ish.

Vetch, Maples, same difference, just a different name.

Thank you Penelope. One learns something new every day. I never knew that Maple Peas and Vetches were one and the same.

Congratulations to Clodhopper and Muncher for getting it right.

They did look familiar. Have had some brilliant shooting on them later on in the year when they get sprayed off, as you’d expect pigeons love them.
