This paper addresses the joint becoming of landscapes, agricultural tasks and prairie rodents in the French Jura uplands, where the development of hay monoculture triggered outbreaks of water voles that reduce pastures to dust. I explore links between processual landscape anthropology and contemporary scholarship on more‐than‐human entanglements in order to follow how ecological disruptions called for the development of new arts of noticing towards multispecies life. I first describe the relationships between Jura farmers, voles, fields and agricultural modernisation programmes, and suggest that vole outbreaks bring these together around shared tasks. I then consider how disputes over how to control voles led to changes in farmers’ ways of caring for their cows and tending the fields. I argue that these underlined changes in their ways of understanding and responding to the rhythms of the landscape’s more‐than‐human activities. Finally, I draw on the example of conflicts between farmers over whether cows or pastures should be more central to their work. I make the case that to be attentive to fields as a landscape in the Jura is ultimately to define the (in)appropriateness of certain actions and tasks. It becomes constitutive of what ‘good farming’ should be, and precipitates new identities.

牧场群：在法国汝拉山区爆发田鼠

本文讨论了在法国汝拉州高地上的景观，农业任务和草原啮齿动物的共同成因，那里的干草单一养殖业的发展引发了水田鼠暴发，从而减少了牧场的灰尘。我探讨了过程景观人类学与当代学者对人类以外的纠缠之间的联系，以追踪生态破坏如何呼吁发展关注多种生物的新艺术。我首先描述汝拉州农民，田鼠，田地和农业现代化计划之间的关系，并建议田鼠暴发将这些问题围绕共同的任务集中在一起。然后，我考虑如何控制田鼠的争执如何导致农民照料母牛和照料田地的方式发生变化。我认为这些强调了他们对景观的超越人类活动节奏的理解和响应方式的变化。最后，我以农民之间在奶牛或牧场是否对他们的工作更重要方面的冲突为例。我认为，要注意田野作为汝拉州的风景，最终是要定义某些行动和任务的（不恰当）。它构成了什么是“好农业”，并催生了新的身份。我认为，要注意田野作为汝拉州的风景，最终是要定义某些行动和任务的（不适当）。它构成了什么是“好农业”，并催生了新的身份。我认为，要注意田野作为汝拉州的风景，最终是要定义某些行动和任务的（不适当）。它构成了什么是“好农业”，并催生了新的身份。
