Wheat

A lot of farmers are growing wheat around here. This is fairly unusual. Also, I've only seen one field of what I think will be soybeans; this is also unusual; soybeans are usually a big crop here. I'm guessing Big Ag/Ag Extension office is encouraging this. Also, soybean rust has slowly been making its way to the area; maybe this is an attempt to halt or at least slow that down.

The wheat has been beautiful, although it's past its brightest yellow, now. The dark green of trees and young corn contrasts beautifully with the wheat. Wish I'd gotten some photos of some of the wheat at its brightest.
