Probably a field of wheat being harvested by a binder which is leaving a neat row of sheaves behind in, which 2 men are putting into shocks. This crop has " Lodged " because of poor weather conditions when growing, but also because wheat had a much longer straw in those days. This was well liked by thatchers.

Tractor harvesting what look like wind damaged crops. From the shadows and the size of the tractor, the crops look quite tall so may not be wheat/corn.

theo the crop has blown over in the wind the tractor is pulling a reaper binder a ealey type of harvester that cut the wheat straw so it fell upon a canvas belt that rolled and tied the sheff and deposited it for standing in ricks in the field this cut the need for farm workers with synths as only one man was needed to cut and bind the crop

I've had a good look at the area to the south of Whitehouse Farm and south east of Smalley Wood and the generally triangular shaped field in the photo does not match the one I can see on the 1938 1:10560 OS map of the area. In particular there is no road down one of the straight boundary sides. The field boundaries in adjoining fields do not match those on the OS map.

Of course there is the possibility that I am looking at the wrong field but on balance I don't believe that we have the correct location this time.

Ok
Stupid error caused by a) staying up too late and b) allowing myself to be distracted.
Now I've GOT to find it.

Hi Dylan Don't beat yourself up about it. You found quite a few and gave me the leads to find another three. Good work for us both!

https://goo.gl/maps/GF8rp5bYBmG2 you may need to rotate map but field layout is still the same 2014

Fields between Smalley and Stanley Common. The boundaries appear on the pre-war map, but are now mostly gone.
