Baldrick Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Good man, Spaniel. I recall some questions on here last year about identifying volunteer OSR, and emerging cereals. Photos of linseed, beans, borage, triticale, stubble turnips etc are mostly irrelevant for pigeon shooting, but I can try to dig some out if needs be. I was asked "how are the lettuces coming along?" by a sales rep standing looking over a field of sugar beet last December. I nearly choked.

al4x Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 ah borage thats a good fun crop, a local farmer has tried to grow it a few years, not worked very well but has provided some cracking shooting as we've intercepted birds flighting into it once its been swathed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniel Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I thought it would be good to start this post, so we can all add to it, helps others identify the various crop etc, Just got my Business cards fom the printers as i wanted some which was laminatted, so i will make time this week to start knocking on a few doors to see what i can get Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 20 years of volunteers after the last borage harvest? Major hassle with crop yield and drying? No thanks, not even for £2,600+ per tonne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) does look beautiful though, this guy lost enough from the first year to not bother drilling it the next. They've tried most things to get it in the shed and the poor sod out on the ancient combine they bought specially for it was there for weeks trying to pick it up. Didn't help that there were hundreds of acres of it. Edited February 10, 2009 by al4x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
