gadgit Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 :blink: They will be on the rape now, and be leaving the beans. They will feed on the rape til they can't reach it anymore and then go for the later drilled beans. This is what the farmer told me? So make the most of the rape while you can.
