In iraq the farmers will tell you there are different types of vegetable farming covered or uncovered. In this picture you see the covered crop. Covered meaning plastic is strecthed over the seed bed to protect the plants from freezing. Uncovered means no plastic.

This looks very progressive to me but then I've never seen large vegatable farms.

I am surprised to see this much technology in protecting their plants there. I'm sure the sandstorms and wind are hard on the crops too? MIMI

Saw something very similar in Poland...they had covered strawberries the same way. Thanks for all the great pics.
