Obviously an Aubergine
A question for the farmers, @mudsticks and others.
There’s a lot farmery in my area, one crop(s) in one field in particular has aroused my interest, it looks like a mix of small rapeseed plants, some kind of bean and an explosion of poppies. What’s that all about please?
The poppies have come up as 'weed' from the seedbed most likely.

Probs field beans (like broad beans) but it's a fodder crop for grinding down for animules.

The rape again, may have self seeded from a previous crop, or it maybe an undersowing of another brassica (such as turnips, to provide winter grazing forage after the beans have been harvested.

Some random guesses, hard to tell without seeing.
 
Could it be green manure? Farmer will just plough it back to enrich the soil.
