In central Russia, grain harvesting is in full swing. Somewhere, for a month now, there has been a yellow comb of stubble in the fields, somewhere, the combines have just started harvesting. I constantly see diggers in freshly harvested fields near the road in our area. They walk, wander, and look around sadly. Despite the fact that the fields are really interesting, and once there could have been farmsteads, roads, and even an entire burned village, walking through such places is almost useless. And that's why.
Do you know what the three-field system is? This is the turnover of agricultural land with a cycle of three years. One year there are winter crops, the next year there are spring crops, then the field rests fallow. So, the fields with winter crops are the first to be harvested. This means that last year these fields rested and were fallow. That is, they were open all summer with obligatory peeling; not all farmers follow the principles of peeling. Often a field that is overgrown over the summer is plowed one day and then sown on the second day. But, in most cases, a good owner peels a fallow field several times during the summer.
And what happens to those fields that are not sown and plowed in the summer? That's right, they are nursed and combed until there are no color signals at all. Then a seeder with a harrow and sowing. We understand that the field with stubble from winter crops is a field that was trampled and knocked out last year. In order for good and scoring finds to appear on the field again, we need to wait for the next deep plowing.
This is the same field, only the photo is from July last year
