@mk30 The landowner is the very nice elderly lady next door, but her children leased the land to a company running #AnaerobicDigesters. So the blokes on the tractors are just hired contractors working for this company (some 15km away).
So far that company was not that bad. Most of the time they grew grasses. The tenant before had corn for 10+ yrs in a row there.
Due to well meant, but poorly designed subsidies, corn for digesters has become the dominant crop in vast parts of our state.

#Gardening is not really pleasant today.
Despite a storm warning for today & tomorrow, the farmer tilled the field behind our house yesterday. Now sand is blowing everywhere.
As it's late in the season, I guess we get corn for #AnaerobicDigesters - again.
Before it was tilled, there were #larks in the air and hares on the ground.
1 young hare moved into our garden & had a nibble at the oregano this morning.
Last few hrs it's huddled against the workshop wall, that is warmed by the sun.
