Description
Soybean fields on the terraced slopes of the scenic Loess Hills of western Iowa.
Corn and soybeans are the most common crops planted in the Loess Hills, with some of the steeper areas being used for hay and pasture. The farmers here practice terracing and contour farming, using grassed waterways and perennial vegetative strips to help minimize erosion. While this is done for purely practical reasons, the patterns created are beautiful.
