Onion set growers are making the most of the good weather

This week growers all over the Netherlands are busy planting their onion sets. Most of the fields have been recently ploughed. They are quickly dried by the wind and the sun, and then they are ready for the planting machine. Fields ploughed a while ago are often still too wet to be planted at this point. The photographs below show onions being planted at Schouwen-Duiveland. These planting machines belong to the contractors Van de Velde and Bevelander.
