I am mesmerized by rows also and love the farm lands in California. I heard farmers are using global positioning to keep their rows straight

If Brexit happens the price of British spuds will soar as no English 'workers' are prepared to do the job of picking them. We rely on armies of seasonal European immigrants to do gather fruit and veg.

I watched an interview with a xenophobic ultra-right middle-aged thicko on benefits complaining about all the foreigners taking his jobs from him. The reporter told him that the farmer was desperate for more people to pick the beets in the field opposite his council house. He replied that he wasn't prepared to do such a dirty job! (Only with rather more colourful language) And therein lies our problem, which I believe to some extent the US shares.

Well seen and captured, the angle of view shows good the depth of the field.

Yeah fruit picking etc is done over here by back packers. If they want to stay longer, they need to work. No job would be 'too dirty' for me if it mean't the difference between feeding my family or not, but sadly not everyone feels the same way.

Man, that is a LOT of potatoes! The mind boggles.

I'm glad you stopped to shoot this. I know how fascinated you've been with this particular field! It really is fun to drive by and watch the rows move by.

Mashed, and fried, and baked, oh, my! I love 'taters!

Wonderful lines here, Bill! It pulls you right into the image. I'll grab some 'taters while I'm in there...

Great shot. When I went to Mt Fuji in summer 1967 while stationed in SEA, I marveled at the precision of the rice field rows in the Japanese countryside.

I think living in the midwest helps bring out the "inner plant row" photographer in one...I know this isn't the midwest, but it does have a midwestern feel to it. Fine shot of the rows, with the lights (from the flowers or leaves) guiding us along the tops of the rows. The balance from the smooth grass in the background, and the dirt road in the foreground, is very sweet. And the right-side trees give a fine changeup to the whole. Very big and peaceful, with a real midwestern feel to it...
