Nial Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Round here the farmers all seem to have sown the same crop, it's straight tight rows of something that looks like grass right now. Green tips 1"-2" long. What is it? There don't seem to be pigeons on any of it as far as I can see unfortunately. Nial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapwing Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 ...or barley, oats, triticale, rye, rice, etc etc. Any of the grass family without more information. But probably as the gentleman says, winter wheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nial Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 How far apart are the rows? They're quite tight, two or three inches maybe? Nial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malkiserow Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 on my permissions the piDgeons are only feeding on rape and the new clover for field crops. They do seem to get some berries and corn which I guess comes from the feeders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
