in the Overberg. Although this is a major national road, there was fortunately almost no traffic. I could pull up in the middle of the road and grab a quick shot.
I did find that there were less yellow fields than last year. I wonder if the farmers plant different crops each year.
Amazing pop of yellow. I believe that the farmers rotate crop into different fields to help with the wellbeing of the soil. That is certainly the case in the U.K.
This is absolutely gorgeous and I am so glad you pulled over to get the shot. I would imagine they need to rotate the crops as @wakelys said. You may see more fields again in a year or two.
And what a grand view it is! It could be crop rotation but it could also be that the cost of fuel for the harvesting and other expenses are causing them to plant less- that's what they're saying is about to happen here thanks to the rise in gas prices.
