Slurry is the basis for almost all crops on the northern sandy and valley soils. That means day and night work for contractors. Contractor Jan Wiechertjes from Eerste Exloërmond is working on their new Vervaet trike here. Photo: H. Deuling

Light soil is still fully plowed, such as in the Noordoostpolder. Arable farm De Zeeuw is also working on this. Their Fendt on caterpillars makes the heart of every technology enthusiast beat faster. Photo: N. van der Boom

Sowing activities have so far mainly been entrusted to the light plots in Flevoland. Deep-plowed soils, for example. Contractor Heyboer from Biddinghuizen is working at agricultural company Burgmans in Dronten with two sowing combinations. Photo: N. van der Boom

On the other side of the world, in Australia, things are very different. The grain harvest is now over. This arable farmer is harrowing so-called fire breaks before heaps of chaff are burned that have remained after the harvest. Photo: S. Hoekstra

You don't easily have too much power in Western Australia's wheatbelt. Quadtrac, Rowtrac or Steiger. They are all available at this Case IH dealer. Photo: S. Hoekstra
