Landscape and farming
I was in Poland some times in the mid ninetines. At that time agriculture looked very bad and farms were really ran down. That was in South Western Poland. This trip I have found the agriculture area quite prosperous - a lot more than in Lithuania. I have hardly seen any horses in the fields (in the nineties I saw them everywhere, and in Lithuania I saw many more). Not that I have anything against horses in agriculture - the opposite, but they are a kind of indicator of economic development in the farm sector......
In the South East, where I been mostly the last days, farming is specialised with a lot of fruit crops, berries, aspargus,hops.
I even saw quite some tobacco on drying today (yes the thought of taking some to chew did strike my mind, but I resisted, now three weeks without and I cut the nicontine patches in three parts now to make them last longer and reduce the dosis).
In the North East and on the Lithuanian side of the border the lanscape is fairly flat and there is a lot of pine forest on sandy soils (a dune type of landscape, the sea reached there before). When going southwards it gradually became a bit more hilly and today, there were a lot of hills. Vegetation has also changed. Up to Bialystok there was hardly any plant or crop that doesn't exist at least in Southern Sweden. But thereafter I see more and morer trees and bushes I don't recognise easily and as I said the agriculture crops also change.
Didn't see any farms announced as organic but I know there are quite a lot.
