I met with the farmer later today who gave me expressed permission to go in and take photos. He said that he didn't want people to go in as the crop was still harvestable due to it's minimal lay features. He said if he found people disregarding this request to keep out he would go ahead and cut it out which was a kind concession to  delay on his part so we should respect that wish. It can still be viewed well from the air obviously. 

This barley CC measures about 280ft wide approx. in my estimation. The lay as stated is quite minimal; I tend to describe this as 'considerate' lay. It's almost as if the CC Makers don't wish to do more damage than they need...especially in this political 'climate'. The lay is consistently inconsistent as can be seen from the pictures, in other words there is absolutely no evidence of repetition in it's construction. Sometimes this 'untidy' look is necessary on the ground to achieve texture in the design. There were no really outstanding features apart from the ribbed subtleties in the centrally laid area. For me the most intriguing feature would be the fact this CC is laid upon a concave topography.  There were biophysical anomalies in terms of bent nodes but they weren't that pronounced.
