Keep the pictures coming.
Went to Denmark once.
They treated us very well.
I really enjoy being a tourist in farm country anywhere.
Farmers are always happy to meet other farmers.

Have a great trip Furrow!
The best part of touring around Germany when my Mrs took me a while ago was different beer and bratwurst in every town we stopped in. We have no concept of what “old buildings” mean just like they have no concept of distance and “far away” mean

I visited France and Belgium awhile back. Pretty interesting seeing farmland with a random concrete pill block/bunker in the middle of a field. This was along the Maginot Line area.

stayed on a couple of farms in Germany and visited one for a day in Switzerland.
All tenant farmers it seems. Guy I stayed with just signed a 18 yr lease/rent agreement. Was in process of building a new house on rented land. His family had leased it for 3 generations him being the third.

No till only works on dry land, in uk we need to lose moisture, not save it, thats why we plough.

That makes sense. However it has a higher carbon footprint than no till.

Agree it makes sense , what bugs me is for us to sell canola into Europe grain companies make us sign contracts with several clauses about stewardship.
Can’t push a tree over , can’t drain wetlands, can’t do this , can’t do that .
Western Canadian Ag is the model of sustainable farming.

All the jerks over here think its cows to blame for climate nonsense.
they also blame ploughs
They want to fly on holiday though
And eat soya milk from chopped rainforests They want a famine.
