It is not unusual to see an unflawed field of winter wheat with one or two large trees marring its perfection. When I do it sets me wondering. Has the field recently been pasture where the animals benefited from the shade? Was there once a hedge containing the trees that was, with the exception of the trees, easily removed? Or does the farmer have a liking for the trees as objects in the landscape or contributors to biodiversity? This pair have had their lower branches removed to allow the close passage of farm vehicles so it looks like they will be around for a while.
