A month ago I posted this picture and asked what crop it was.

Yesterday I was passing the field where the crop had just been harvested and at the side of the field was the combine harvester with the farmer beside it. At last a chance to definitively discover what the crop was. I had a couple of passengers on the bus but this didn’t deter me, I pulled over and said to them “I wont be a minute but I need to speak to the farmer”. A nice guy the farmer. He told me that it was birdseed millet and I said that I hadn’t seen it growing before. “It’s a bit of a specialist crop” was his response to that.
