Large straw stack east of Congham In the autumn, British carrot farmers start putting their crop “to bed” for the winter months by covering them with a thick layer of straw to protect them from the frost. This eco-friendly method of storage, takes place across large swathes of land in Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Scotland. The earth becomes nature’s larder, keeping the crop fresh and ready for harvest throughout the winter, allowing farmers to provide the UK with an 11-month supply of carrots. Before farmers adopted this practice in the 1990s, carrots were predominantly a summer vegetable.   <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3419185" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3419185">Link</a>
