Is the farmer supposed to go to the tree or lay down flat between tree and tractor?

Good question!
Often times the tree out in the middle of the field was once near a long-gone farmhouse or building. When the residence deteriorated or was razed and the area was expanded into farming land, they left the tree, which is larger now.

STAY AWAY FROM THE TREES!!!
MOST deaths from lightning strikes in the United States occur when the victim is standing under a tree! Trees, being tall, attract lightning.
a GOOD thing for the farmer to do is stay ON the tactor. Tractor have rubber wheels, and so the farmer is INSULTED from the ground, The tracker will not attract lightning, and for the most part the farmer is completely safe.
The BEST thing to do is to get on the tractor, drive that tractor to the barn, and go inside!

initially, they might have: (a) been planted and/or allowed to stay after deforestation to permit look after for animals engaged on the fields, or (b) some timber are in specific situations left while field barriers are taken down and 2 or extra fields are made into one bigger field. in recent times farmers are inspired to maintain hedgerows, previous timber, etc as they're solid for organic worldwide. A field without this sort of tree interior the middle could be slightly much less annoying to farm, however the tree can look intense-high quality, and upload character to a field, that would otherwise have regarded like another.

Neither the trees are there to keep the soil from blowing away not for the farmer's protection

The large trees are either inconvenient to take out, provide enough of a crop (like pecans or hickory or walnuts) for his needs, or provide shade for breaks in the summer. They are dangerous in lightning storms.

The trees are planted as wind breaks. They keep the wind from damaging the crops. Fruit trees and their fruits are easily damaged and bruised by high winds. These bruised fruit are then used only for canning and other product, much less value.
