The yellow color of the rapeseed fields attracts a lot of attention, generating a very bucolic image that is already beginning to spread through various Catalan regions, as in this case Berguedà, Baix Llobregat and Baix Empordà.
The images we see in La Vanguardia’s Readers’ Photos take us to the fields on the outskirts of Berga, on the one hand, and to the surroundings of the town of Ullastret.
Rapeseed can be a profitable crop. In Catalonia, it is the Osona region where there are the most extensions, although it is also present in Garrotxa and other areas.
It is a crop that is used to produce fodder and biodiesel. Nowadays, in addition, the mechanization of work in the field has made the process of harvesting rapeseed faster and more productive.
The rapeseed fields are already beginning to bloom in Catalonia. It is a very striking flower, since it is yellow in contrast to the green, as can be seen in the images.
Finally, we can see how the fields in the agricultural area of ??Gavà, in the Baix Llobregat, have been revitalized with the last rains.
