industry..in the heartland and close to home

i was out in pulaski county indiana again yesterday and beans are a specialty there ( first photo )..the bi-polar monoculture is alive and well there ans you can see by the transition between the two ( along with a power plant and its emissions in the background ) in the second photo...those fields went on fro miles along inidana 10 and 35( third and fourth ) with space to ensile ( and advertise ) it all along the way ( fifth through eighth )...closer to hem the field by the supermarket is producing much like its rural cousins and there is a sea of male flowers ( ninth )...the row on the outside that developed in the shade of the biomass in the berm is still producing only one ear per stalk ( tenth and eleventh ) although the yield of the three in the eleventh photo may have more to do with the fact they they are so physically proximate than with shade...from the top the filed presents a vista of unbroken flowers and green ( twelfth )...a look at the underside of the field show that to be illusory...lots of bare ground ripe for wind erosion...that goes for the miles of fields in pulaski county as well...no til ( which is, at least , what the field by the supermarket is ) has its distinct advantages it's true...it still is no proof against erosion.
