Ploughed Field This exposed field looked an unlikely candidate for the usual crops, and the furrows look too shallow for trees, but I was told that it is to be sown with grass.

Clearing the Stones from the Field There were two woman and a man picking stones off the field and throwing them into the slow-moving trailer, which then dumped the stones on the ramp in the background. From the number of stones I saw, it would take weeks to clear them all, but they were just removing the largest ones. That definitely comes under the heading of hard labour.
