It may be for animal feed Steve, or it may be grown as Bio-mass to be processed in anaerobic digesters to produce bio-gas for fuel, as here http://www.suffolkproduce.co.uk/forage-harvesting.html
Ah yes - I hadn't thought of biogas. The bacteria won't care how hard the kernels are. They're quite keen on renewable energy here - wind turbines and solar panels all over the place.
I also wondered about corn oil (?) or starch for food processing.
I think the farmers crush the kernels to form a sort of corn flake before feeding it to cattle.
...and because it's dry when it's harvested it won't rot. Thank you Fidget
They look just like mine (mine are a bit smaller) and they where planted in a block
I am very disappointed
Some of that site looks a bit Berrow-Farmy to me Dove
It's an association/co-operative of 11 different family farms who co-operate for economy of scale.
This is one of the farms http://www.suffolkproduce.co.uk/rh--r-paul.html
Not like Berrow Farm
