No. Look at photo. That is one dumb son a cow. How not to feed your cows. Notice that field. Hot very hot, soil cracking. But look. He has planted look. That field has been planted, or so it seems, with the same crop. It just so happens to be lethal to cows, when it gets that hot.
Look at space between plants. Look at the soil under them. Planted it seems. Might be freshly fallow. Weed roots, but then it would be mixed plants, instead of just a fatal plant, killing them when it gets hot. You'd think the cows might know or start getting sick. But he'd been feeding them it for much longer.
At what point. Because that farmer cut corners. But still small skeptism in his 58 years nothing like that happened before. The temperature was sustained for longer this year. The plant's natural defense mechanism kicked in, producing toxicity as it gets hot. Perhaps there's more to it. Doubtful. More to it, like the seeds were modified.
That's a good point. Italians are shitty farmer and fighters. And financial people. No offense to them..
After reading the article and looking at the picture. Yea it has got to be it. Vet report would probably confirm the preliminary.
Small margin of error of it not happening until now. Italy gets hot for long periods, it did when I was over there, for months and I was in the North. We had snow in January, then by March the temperature was really climbing. Everyday, sunshine, it rained like once in months.
What kind of heat does take to make that plant get toxic? Not happening before. It was hotter this year, all over Europe, breaking records. But it still gets hot.
That poison was like super fast. 50. No, survival of the fittest. Same diet. Field planted with it.
Who knows.
