crop rows

Farm field stripes

Crop rows are the parallel lines of planted vegetation in agricultural fields.

Farmers arrange crops in rows to allow space for growth, irrigation, and machinery access.

The uniform spacing creates the distinctive striped pattern visible across farmland: The tractor moved slowly between the crop rows.

Row crops like corn, soybeans, and cotton are planted this way, as opposed to broadcast-seeded grains.
