    Never seen an onion field. What an ugly crop.

      There is no actively growing onions in the field. It looks like it’s about ready to seed.

      The brown rows is likely barley. It’s used as a cover crop over sandy soil. Before they plant the onions they spray the field with an herbicide. The beds are cultivated and seeded leaving a few inches of the dead barley.

      The rows of dead barely acts as a windbreak to reduce sandblasting of the young plants with the wind.
