Cotton fields, Turkey

A main agricultural activity in southern Turkey is cotton growth. The cotton fields are sown between April and June and harvested from September to November. The 100 m false-colour images of an area between Viranşehir and Ceylanpinar show that different fields are used in subsequent years, see the alternation of the green circles between 4 October 2015 (left) and 18 October 2016 (right). Further, both images show the contrast between the bright-green irrigated fields and the barren soil to the south.
