The rich arable soil is evident here. This piece of machinery a Standen potato harvester. The folded arrangement on the side is an elevator for loading trailers as the unit moves down the field. It is tractor towed. Thanks to Michael Trolove http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/19979 for identification and explanation. When I first saw it, I thought it might be like a Swiss Army Knife and do lots of other things as well. It has been parked here for a while; notice how the field has been ploughed around it.
