Before modern herbicides and intensive agriculture this would have been a fairly common sight in the countryside.  Judging by the adjacent field which was full of very pretty ‘weeds’ among the turnips, the farmer must be interested in farming organically and is growing flowers which attract pollinators.   On one side of the wheat field there is a long strip which is about 50 metres wide and full of flowers such as red clover, forget-me-not, persicaria, scentless mayweed and hemp-nettle (extra) with the  poppies, cornflowers and corn marigolds being especially noticeable.
