Spanish term or phrase: cultivos
Hi, I need word(s) in english for "cultivo" as a piece of land that someone plants. For instance:

-Los productores con cultivos de 1 cuadra.
-Tres hombres trabajan en el cultivo del frente.

"Crops" does not seem a good option here. "Plot" is my top choice right now but I'm not 100% sure. Thanks for your suggestions.

cultivation/crops


Explanation:
A suggestion. Nevertheless I would go for "crop" (the produce of cultivated plants, esp. cereals....) in the sense of cultivating rather than "plot" ("a defined and usu. small piece of ground",...).. unless you mean just a plot of land where there is nothing cultivated yet... I see this is not quite clear in your "context", yet if the actual question is "cultivos" I understand it is a "crop" that has grown in a "plot"... therefore: "Crop or cultivation".
There will probably be better answers in any case.
Best of luck, A.
