much rape your way tomo? nothing around here which is unusual, don't know if its cos of wet weather last year or something I heard on TV weeks ago about a tax or something on it.

I think it is tomo. I thought it unusual as the field of rape next door hasn’t been touched yet and looks a good while off yet.

They was harvesting rape the other night by me and the barley dont look far off it all seems early this year must be the good weather we av had ? Every other field is rape now it used to be sugar beet till they did away with the factory ?

I remember now on TV a farmer was saying they had grown rape on that farm since 1970 but a new ban on some type of pesticide means it won't be worth growing. I am ancient but I can't remember rape in the fields in the 70s.

They cut the rape up this way knee height an the tops are pointed, like running a dog throo a field of arrows sticking out ground, softens up after a lot of rain as they have even stopped ploughing it back in, dodgy stuff but that’s what happens when outsiders come an take the piss on land 

I saw a video on FB where a Saluki cross had been impaled to death when out on a run, not sure if it was rape.
