I love when the wind blows and the wheat looks like water. Also, since wheat prices were so high last year, it was really exciting for the area - the wheat farmers had huge windfalls and all bought new field equipment - the local John Deere lot could barely keep up. My favorite part of this story is that the old equipment gets donated and recycled to 3rd-world countries to help them with their agriculture. Pretty neat, huh? Oh beautiful for spacious skies!!
