Combine working somewhere south of Smith Center, Kansas, USA. Turns out a "combine" gets its name because it combines the operations of reaping and threshing.

Somewhere off Bluestem Road in eastern Washington state, USA. They still move some wheat by rail here--altho the trackage is obviously _not_ the main line! Some of the wheatfields in the Palouse are visible in the distance, in the hills on the skyline.

Somewhere off Bluestem Road, eastern Washington state, USA. No-till hasn't caught on here, I guess! A branch of the Burlington Northern Railroad (now the BNSF) line is crossing the picture a bit more than halfway up. The green on the hills beyond is probably wheat seedlings.

Wheat stubble on our land, Smith Center, Kansas, USA. The fellow who farms for us says we should take out the windbreak to the left, but trees are so scarce where we live it just goes against the grain! ;)

Smith Center, Kansas, USA. I don't remember if this was our field or the one next door. It will be harvested within the next week or so. The combines were already working south of Smith Center.

In Oregon just south of the Washington line, USA. This is a major winter-wheat growing area. Pronounced "puh-LOOSE", btw.

Off SR 124 between Pasco and Walla Walla, Washington state, USA. Pronounced "puh-LOOSE", btw. Most of it has been turned into wheat fields--this part was hilly enough it's still prairie.
