As my luck would have it, the first formation in barley was reported just in time for Master Lu to give me a flight so I could video it (he's going back to the States tomorrow).

The formation, a couple miles north of North of Barbury Castle (SU 160-786), looked a few days old when I flew it today (Wednesday).

The entrance to the field is blocked off with a big trailer which has a hoof & mouth sign warning people to keep out -- there are cattle in a bordering field.
