Poland - Grudziadz - Farmer pauses during harvest

A farmer near the village of Grudziadz in Southern Poland rests on a hat cart on the edge of a corn field during harvest. it is later afternoon and the sun is falling on his weathered face and crossed arms which are muscular and veined, signs of a life of hard labour. He is in deep thought, perhaps thinking of Poland's fast-changing economy, now that the Berlin Wall has fallen and Poland is soon to become a member of the European Community (EU). Of Poland's 18,727,000 hectares of agricultural land (about 60 percent of the country's total area), 14,413,000 hectares is used for crop cultivation.
