The peanut plant has its fruits underground. That is why it is also called groundnut. These are first plowed upwards so that the crop can dry. Photo: B. Schaap

After a drying period, the crop is threshed with special harvesters, which are very similar to a combine. Three swaths can be picked up at once with these Amadas. Photo: B. Schaap

The same manufacturer also builds trailed machines for harvesting nuts and legumes. These images were taken in the state of Oklahoma. Photo: B. Schaap

The grain maize harvest normally takes place in late autumn. Due to drought and high temperatures, the combine harvesters were already driving in Poland at the beginning of September. Photo: J. Kruijthoff
