Automatic tractor planting and transplanting lettuce seedlings. Sunny day in Tarleton Lancashire as farmers & field workers take advantage of the drying soils to plant and attend to their vegetable crops in the field. The area, known as the Salad Bowl of Lancashire, produces high quality vegetables for the supermarkets of England and is a large employer of EU migrant workers.
Summer is also the most challenging time for lettuce production on farms. This year has been particularly challenging with high temperatures and erratic rainfall.
