Unusual crop circles

[Clive]

not your usual type but we have these 3 perfect circles in a crop of wheat we cut yesterday

November drilled Skyfall (so not likely BYDV) 30 years sinse any livestock on that land etc

Could easily be BYDV given Dec temps

Recently had a hedge pulled out and had the fire there?

Perfect circles ? Only 3 on the entire farm ?

No field has been same size shape for many years - no muck tips / fires etc as this is way from headlands in middle of 80ac

As normal, I've drifted off topic to thinking what I would give for a 80 acre field. That would be my entire harvest in one paddock

edit, I would still be interested in the crop circles, but wouldn't be loosing any sleep.

Someone playing silly buggers with a knapsack sprayer? Bit of the right chemical/fert could easily give the colour differential.

Aliens almost landed, realised it was a quality dd crop and didn't want to cause any compaction!

fungus ring ?

I agree with this, see them in grass land as well. It's a fungus that spreads outwards over time, could be the same thing, especially in a no till scenario where you are not disturbing the soil too much.

fungus ring ?

sounds plausible - maybe a something is thriving under zero-till that couldn't under cultivation ?

The worry is is it better in the rings or not? I think fungus btw

 

[RWG Contracts]

There's a crop of something on the side of the M6 and that looks rip except for a green rectangle about 40' up 3/4 of the middle of the field and a another square near the gate, is that some that's missed getting fertiliser or something else?

if you can still see it in the stubble have a dig and see if there is any difference

Arent they called fairy rings? A name which has potential troubling implications.....
