Soya / Lupins

[Simon Chiles]

We grew soya for the first time last year with reasonable results. What we learnt was it takes a lot to keep the pigeons off!! And we were lucky with the weather to cut them dry in October. Yield wise it did not break any records but the land was late lifted parsnips which usually gets spring barley drilled early may so never amounts to much. With soya we were able to drill them at the recommended time, think we are having more this year

These http://birdcontrol.net/ are what you need to keep the pigeons off, the only thing I’ve found to be successful.
