A sunflower by a field of wheat

Mixed Crops, Hauterive, Canton Neuchâtel

Fields in Switzerland are small, and there is often no division between different crops, as here, where sunflowers grow next to wheat. Sunflowers have been an official crop in Switzerland only since 1994. They are grown mainly for oil.
