Spring Fields

The land around the home farm is all used for grain production these days. It is a very rich black earth, and they use no-till agrigulture methods to preserve this most valuable of resources. The stubble from last summer and the stands of trees scattered over the hills are there to further prevent the wind blowing the top soil away and to trap the snow so that the moisture can feed into the soil. No fences as no animals.

The clouds are spectacular.
