Crops

I’ve never seen so much land given over to growing crops as I have here in Germany. Paddocks are relatively small, they begin on the fenceline of the last house in the village, and more often than not, two paddocks side by side contain different crops.  On the other hand, animals are few and far between.  I’ve seen cows and some horses, but no sheep.

On a short walk around Proitzer Mühle, I’ve found:

Onions
Wheat
This wheat was harvested last week.  Proitzer Mühle is behind those trees
Corn.  They grow a lot to use for Bio-oil
Barley.  This is looking towards the Unnererdschenberg
