Just a quick post for Bradley and Todd. There is a huge amount of corn still standing in Normandy fields (and to the south, less so in Germany). Autumn sown winter crops seem to be starting. A lot of root vegetables still in, some potatoes, also beetroot and carrots. It seems maybe 75% permanent cropping, 25% pasture for mix of dairy and beef. Evidently they do a fair bit of linseed for oil and also flax.
