Will try to get a few pictures later, but listen to this!
Day before yesterday, I was planting my oats at the neighbors field. On the last pass (right next to the edge of the field) I seeded past a VERY big red ant mound. They are probably about 3 or 4 feet from the edge of the field, so I was pretty close.
Well, yesterday afternoon on my way home, I decided to swing by and make sure that the filed wasn't covered in Canadian Geese or Deer, and low an behold, here are my little white oat seeds crawling across the ground towards the ant nest!
After further inception, there were LOTS of ants carrying my oats back to the nest!!!
Withing about a 10 foot circle of the nest, the ground was covered with red ants! They were actually digging into the ground, retrieving the oat, and then carrying it back!!!
I have decided to take a small coffee can of spare oat seed down there and sprinkle it all around the nest, that should in "theory" keep them busy for a week or so while the other oats sprout!!!
