Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Tractor marks in oats crop. Probably the oldest known oat grains, dating from about 2,000 BCE, were found in Egypt. Presumably these were weeds rather than a systematically cultivated crop. The oldest known cultivated oats were found in caves in Switzerland and are believed to date from the Bronze Age. The history of oats > 896263 is obscure because there are so many different species and subspecies, which makes identification of old remains very difficult. The chief modern centre of greatest variety of forms is in Asia Minor, where most all subspecies are in contact with each other. Oats are chiefly a European and North American crop, with Russia, Canada, the United States, Finland, and Poland being the leading oat producing countries. Not a very common crop these days, oats make up about 3% of the total of cereals grown in the UK today. About half of the oat crop is milled and used for human consumption, the balance is used for animal feed.
The water tower seen in the background is a familiar sight to everybody travelling on the A1067 and it can be seen for miles. The tower certainly dominates this grid square, being the only building, apart from Tower Farm > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/896289 which is located a couple of 100 metres to the northwest of it.
