People, members of two families, collecttobacco leaves at sunrise in a cropfield near the town of Razlog some 145 km south from the Bulgarian capital Sofia, Aug. 13, 2018. They migrate every summer from their native village of Ribnovo (about 44 km to the east of Razlog) to Razlog where the soil is better for growing tobacco. Tobacco production is an extremely important branch of Bulgarian farming. Almost all the tobacco produce in Bulgaria is intended to be exported. The cropfields where tobacco is grown in Bulgaria are as large as 43 000 dka. Growing tobacco is hugely difficult especially during planting and collecting the leaves. On the contrary the farmers usually are forced to sell their tobacco production at very low prices- 7leva (3,5 euro) in year 2017. A family needs to grow tobacco on at least 8 dka so as they would be able to fund living. Photo credit: Petko Momchilov / Impact Press Group NurPhoto / Getty Images.
A combine harvester mows a meadow on the Tempelhofer Feld. The 120-hectare meadows are mowed at a sophisticated rhythm in coordination with the Berlin State's Supreme Nature Conservation Authority. The first half will now be mowed, the second half will follow in three to four weeks. This allows insects to move from the mowed areas to the areas that have not yet been mowed.
