2011 Corn Harvest

Kale Avenue

Clayton County, Iowa

I believe that this series of images tells the complete story. As you can see the gentle slopes of the land certainly support farming on the contour to prevent erosion. The Iowa Tractor Boys are busy with the harvest as they complete another year of tilling the land that supports the lives of so many people. In fact the figures from the U. S. Department of Agriculture establish the that one U. S. Farmer supports the food needs of 140 U. S. Citizens. This statement is based on data determined in 1997. I suspect that the figure is even more today.
