Broccoli, as far as the eye can see 6 images of this field, stitched into a panorama. 

This is a typical fenland scene, with high-quality food crops stretching horizon to horizon.    Although sold in the UK as Broccoli, I know this as Calabrese, being the variety name.

See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5609358">TF2130 : The Broccoli crop</a> for the crop, and <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5609359">TF2331 : The spire of Gosberton Church</a> for another detail.
