A farmer's perspective: wheat
Watch Richard Casebow, Technical Manager at Sonning Farm in the UK, highlight the multitude of ways that wheat grain can be lost from the point it is ready to harvest in the field to the point it is collected for milling.
Richard explains how pigeons push over the wheat crop to eat it. And when followed by heavy rain, this leads to sprouted grain which can’t go into the food market. In the discussion below, share an example of how animals or weather conditions may affect crops which are ready to harvest in your country.
