Producing for the world
A pastoral scene in the center of the state says more than just that it’s pretty out here. Much of the world depends on the quiet activity of North Dakota producers. Here, the farm with livestock buildings, the small grain field and the giant wind turbines tell a story of hard work, industry and support for others. The wind turbines send power to Minnesota and points east. The livestock and grain go worldwide to feed others.
On this autumn day, I was headed down the road about 30 miles south of the geographic center of the state when I topped a hill to catch the juxtaposition of three of the state’s leading industries — small grains, livestock and energy. Photographically, I like the colors, the peace and the cleanliness of an image such as this.
Just out of curiosity, what is the sense you feel when you see a pastoral scene such as this?
