One aspect of our localized lockdown walks is getting insights into the agricultural year of our locale. Since March we've seen fields ploughed and seeded, their crops sprout, sheep grazing amongst the solar panels, black lambs born elsewhere, and now what must be one of the years earliest harvests. Yesterday these fields were expansive seas of shimming shin high vibrant green grass, today nought remains. Harvested for silage, a flurry of huge tractor drawn trailers raced back and forth transporting this important resource used to feed cattle through the winter to the storage silos where it'll be left to ferment until required.
