May it be something to do with the RSPB, they have a place at Fowlmere.
Might be worth a phone call to check.

Ah! THAT makes sense. Especially if what looked like maize was
actually millet. Clearly they had sown with birdseed :-)

Maybe they also intend to harvest it *as* birdseed?

Just a wild thought.

I don't think so, both because the plants are at different stages
of development and because even the earlier ones probably won't
ripen seed before the dark and wet starts. Planting for winter
feed for birds is more likely.
