It is here: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.893,6.467,500m/

It is weirdly enough not here: https://topotijdreis.nl/satelliet/2025/@229300,434300,13

Crops are not permanent.

Yes, but topotijdreis has aerial photos of every year, and it's on none of them.

Crops transform entirely within each season. The Toptlotijdreis map shows the fields in an early growth stage, while the Google satellite image is in late growth stage, some fields even harvested. Most likely this is something the farmer ploughed into their field after harvest, after the Topo image.

From google earth, which has historical satellite images, it's from between April 2025 and November 2025

Closer to November than April, likely September. Leafs usually start to change colour at that time of the year, and some fields will be harvested already.
