Malc may I ask, what is that crop they're cutting? thank you.

[@MalcPearce]

This is rye. It is whole cropped and used in the local anaerobic plant. "Rye is an excellent crop to balance other high production substrates, such as Beet or Maize in the production of biogas in AD plants. The addition of rye to beet or maize provides a different nutrient source for the bacteria in the digester." - www.hmseeds.co.uk/ 😎
