Farmland near Buntingford A footpath to Park Farm Industrial Estate and Buntingford can be seen cutting diagonally across the fields in the photo.  A Burdock stands out in the foreground.  The flower heads distribute the seed by sticking to passing animals - great fun to throw at your friends clothes when you're a child.

Safely Gathered In Even straw has a value.  After the wheat has gone to make bread the straw is kept to feed animals over the winter.  In the barn there are large cylindrical bales and traditional rectangular bales.  The reason for both types of baling is to meet the needs of different customers.  A small stable run by a single person will only be able to handle small rectangular bales.
