But, it's not good for much, as 40 acres doesn't go far, grass wise out here, where it's pretty dry land. <BR/><BR/> We're on the outskirts of a tiny town, where it breaks up into several 40 acre lots. Most of them aren't cultivated, but are used for horses or small animal operations. Just beyond the farmettes, though, a bike ride down the road, there are acres and acres of winter wheat. Some of the farmers will try a field or two of corn, but that's risky as there's little irrigation out here at all for it. And here and there, you'll see huge fields of sunflowers. I wish I'd gotten a picture of that this summer to show. The acres and acres of yellow is gorgeous. <BR/><BR/>But, I would say, that most of the land out here is probably uncultivated. As opposed to the acres and acres of wheat, there are miles and miles of empty rolling prairie land, with occasional cottonwood lined creek beds. With the mountains in the distance. <BR/><BR/>I'll have to get out and take some pictures of the land around us. I tend to concentrate on the mountains (can't help love them best!), but the prairies really are beautiful, too.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636115320397120406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94747407415633325.post-80735922693389384172008-10-23T17:23:00.000-05:002008-10-23T17:23:00.000-05:00..and cabbages and kings.I am curious about your l.....and cabbages and kings.<BR/><BR/>I am curious about your land.<BR/>How much is just sprawling countryside and how much is cultivated for "whathaveyous?"<BR/>It seems very beautiful.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630262224739505223noreply@blogger.com
