In the heart of the Midwest, agriculture paints a classic rural landscape of rolling fields and patchwork farms. Tall silos stand like sentinels beside weathered red barns, storing grain harvested from endless acres of corn and soybeans. Herds of black-and-white dairy cows graze in pastures, their milk fueling a thriving local industry. Tractors rumble down dirt lanes, hauling fresh produce bound for farmers’ markets and co-ops. Here, agriculture is more than an industry, it’s a way of life, rooted in tradition and sustained by the land’s rich, fertile soil.
