Satelliittikentät

Satelliittikentät, a Finnish term that translates to "satellite fields," refers to agricultural land parcels that are situated away from a primary farmstead. These fields are typically managed and cultivated by farmers who operate a central farm. The concept arises from the need to efficiently utilize available agricultural land, which may be geographically dispersed. Farmers may acquire or rent these satellite fields to expand their crop production or to access land with different soil types or growing conditions.

The management of satellite fields often involves logistical planning, as resources such as machinery, labor, and supplies need to be transported to these outlying areas. Farmers may adopt specific cultivation practices tailored to the characteristics of each satellite field. In some cases, these fields might be used for less intensive farming operations or for growing specific crops that thrive in those particular locations. The existence of satellite fields can be influenced by historical land divisions, land availability, and economic considerations in rural areas.
