Reseeding grazing land

Used for occasional grazing of cattle, the grass in these fields was apparently seven years old and it was time for reseeding. The process consisted of first ploughing up and turning over the old grass, then shallow raking of the surface to even it up, before rolling with a massive water-filled roller, and then finally reseeding as pictured here. Then sit back and hope for rain to make it all grow.
