I thought I would see greens and reds , very very interesting photo, 100 out of 10 interesting! But still I don't understand why it's... white?

Very nice! I too, do not understand why it's white.

The white might be lime that has been spread on the ground. Neat photo,and well-done with good straight lines. Lovely pattern. This photo symbolizes the uniformity of modern agribusiness.

Thanks!

From what I gather, they drag a machine behind the tractor that creates those long raised plant-beds for the plants. The white material is a covering of some kind that gets laid over top. They put the stakes in (those are the vertical lines) and the tomato plants are "planted" between the stakes - the plants themselves are the dots on the white strips.
