I live near a field which seems to rotate what it grows during the year.

Up until now, during the spring there would be banging noises (like gunshots) which I presume is to scare off birds and keep them away from the seeds. However, this year these banging noises have continued during December and January.

I don't know the farmer, so can't ask him.
