George1990 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 That means no shooting for me next summer. However, it does mean there'll be wheat stubble over the whole of the winter. So, will the pigeons want the spilled grain over the winter or will they target the new drillings? Not sure what they're doing in nearby fields, but I only have a very small permission. I do have permission on one massive field (where they aren't doing maize), where they normally do wheat or barley, on top of a hill with harsh weather conditions. This year they had rape up there for the first time (that I can remember). Any farmers know their likely course of action? Cheeeers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I have never known a Farmer plant rape in the same field two consecutive years, in my area it would go to wheat or peas. Maize can be great shooting when its harvested and knocked down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
