Canada geese swarm a freshly planted Michigan field
Original: Crappy Cellphone Video of the Day (yesterday) The Canada geese are going to clean up that freshly planted field of all i
In Michigan, a freshly planted field is being picked over by a flock of Canada geese, captured in a short amateur video shared online. The poster wonders whether the birds are eating the newly sown winter wheat along with insects and other food in the soil, a concern for farmers whose seedlings could be stripped before they sprout.
Why now: Canada geese are known to graze newly planted fields, and people are debating whether they damage winter wheat crops at this time of year.
