September 11th – Bumper update today as I had a lovely Indian summer ride out to Abbots Bromley, Newborough and Dunstall.

Here at Hanney Hay near Hammerwich, just down from Meerash Farm, a field full of strikingly green proso-millet.

I have no idea if the use is as animal or human feed, or even biofuels, but it’s a handsome, beautifully coloured crop.

Cheers to Tony Jakeman for the identification. I’ve never seen it before.
