But I've realized those of us that grew up in the country are the minority nowadays. Most people have no connection to where their food really comes from; they just buy their food from the grocery store and really don't give a second thought to where it originated from. And many have never been out in the country or to a farm.
So while I was back in Northwestern Kansas for Thanksgiving, I snapped a few pictures. These were taken in Rooks and Ellis counties.
This is "Part I", I'll be posting more pics and little tid-bits when I got back at different times of year, so stay tuned!

| Wheat field. This wheat was planted a short while ago, it will be harvested next year. |
 |
| Cows in a pasture. Note the land is rocky and hilly, not ideal for crops. |
 |
| Cows on milo stubble. Many farmers will move cattle onto crop land temporarily after harvesting. |
 |
| Hay bale. Grass in ditches is cut & baled for animal food. |
