Millet 4,497 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) It depend's where you live and what crop's are down..where i am in the north east the favourite crop is rape at the momment..and when the spring barley goes in they switch to that and hammer it..

paulus 26 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 theres load on the clover in the fields at the minute, plus they are still on barley that was unharvested due to the weather around here. i did notice yesterday a few flocks on the oilseed rape fields thats just started to come through Quote Link to post
