[QUOTE="daithi, post: 8842503, member: 8057"] Hi all Just back from my holiday in SW France near Perpignan on the coast,not a lot happeningaround there farming wise, just some vineyards, then spent a few days in the Pyrenees near Axles th thermes, highly recommended the scenery and mountain passes are stunning. So driving from Foix to Toulouse was the only farming area that we passed, so I have a few questions on things that we saw. The main arable crops seem to be sunflowers and maize. What is the maize used for, I take it that its combined is it used for animal feed or human consumption ? We passed on field of maize that seemed to have leaves topped off, what would they do this for? What are the Sunflowers used for? (I never see French sunflower oil for sale or is it used for other purposes). Another observation was that the French are such good motorway drivers, they always pull in after overtaking, no middle or fast lane hogging and traffic flows. Thanks [/QUOTE]
