The farmer across the street has started the Corn harvest.
To date he is partially comp;leted but the rain has caused a delay.
Hopefully he'll get back out there next week when the weather warms and dries up.
The rural landscapes in Iowa (and most of the midwest US) are dominated by the two major agricultural crops-corn and soybeans. For those not familiar, the dark green areas are soybeans and the yellow/green strips are corn with the light color coming from the tassels (the male flower) at the top of the corn plants. Despite a VERY dry summer the plants still look quite good, but the yields will suffer dramatically if we do not get significant rains soon.
Our home is on the very edge of our small town and this view is just a couple of blocks away.
when I saw this scene, I rushed home to grab a camera hoping there would be enough light to capture the scene. There was quite a bit of haze caused by the dust of the harvesting and wildfire smoke coming in from the western part of the country which probably intensified the sunset colors.
In a small town like ours everyone knows everyone and news spreads fast. I learned the next morning at the coffee shop that this field yielded poorly because of the severely dry growing season.
Great to see these Corn Buntings early doors today on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, as they are getting increasingly rare in the UK these days:-)
This year the squirrels have 'planted' a lot of bird feeder corn all over the neighborhood, with their instinct to hide food in the ground for another day. I found a 6-foot plant in a neighbor's yard that hadn't been pulled up and it made for a nice close-up shot :)
