Farming ... in Spain

I was always interested as I passed various agricultural enterprises along the way.  The first were traditional farms raising cattle and sheep in the Basque region; the cattle appeared to be charolais, but I am not an expert.  

No round bales, but lots of the 'big' rectangular ones.

Vegetables are grown everywhere in lovely gardens; large and small.

A pumpkin patch.

A vineyard - specialty farming.

Not sure just what I was looking at.  The implements I saw were small (compared to the Alberta prairie implements I'm used to seeing).  Ten - twelve feet wide, maximum.

Fields of ripening sunflowers as I approached Burgos.

Potatoes coming off the top of the conveyor.  John Deere is alive and well in Spain.

The soil, which you can see pretty well in the pumpkin pic, is quite red.  Sort of like PEI soil.  Very different from our black soil at home, but it seems to grow things just fine.  One thing I've noticed is that there is not much "zero till" going on.  I also met a big sprayer when I was walking into one of the towns.  Santo Domingo, I think it was.

I also passed a barn housing pigs, perhaps.  I thought I had a photo of it, but can't find it   Most of the animals that I've seen have been outside, chickens, (everyone seems to have a few of those), and of course the sheep and cattle.  As I've moved west, however, the livestock numbers have dropped off, and the field crops have increased.
