This is a view of the sun rising behind the Gabilan Range in the Salinas Valley with light reflected from plastic covered rows that will be planted in strawberries. The rows are wrapped in black plastic and treated with Methyl Bromide, a pre-plant soil fumigant used to control diseases and pests in agriculture. Methyl Bromide use is being phased out in California. The plastic made a nice reflective surface for the light of the rising sun. November, 2004.

Nashua Road Fields
Agriculture and farmers sustain us all. In this series of posts, I’ll share some images that are related to farming. This photograph is of fields ready for planting but still wet from Spring rains. These fields are near Nashua Road and Highway 1 near Castroville, California.
