• They’ve just started harvesting the ‘sweetcorn’ in the field behind our place. This is the same ‘sweetcorn’ that a neighbour has been eating for the last week, despite me telling them that it’s not sweetcorn, but is in fact maze. Maze is cattle feed and tough as old boots as well as tasteless. “It’s just not quite ripe” Well I was wrong, it’s not cattle feed at all, it’s biomass. They chop it up in the field as they harvest it, then it compressed and dried as pellets and then burnt for fuel. You learn something new everyday.
