Farm track near Welbourn This is also a public footpath. On the right can be seen a particularly long stemmed form of barley. When stubble burning was effectively banned in 1993 there was a general trend towards growing short stemmed varieties of cereals. This gave less residue to be disposed off. Now straw has become a valuable commodity in itself and longer stemmed varieties are making a comeback. The barley in this field was well over a metre in height.
