Iowa farmland

A dreamy and picturesque rural Iowa landscape photo featuring and old red barn found on a winding gravel road. Harvest has begun and there's a lot of dust in the atmosphere this time of year and the light is sometimes spectacular.

Corn Field, near Guthrie, Iowa

These dot the landscapes all over the state.

Turns out that betting the farm wasn’t such a bad idea after all. An annual survey of Iowa farmland values found that prices went up 5.1 percent in the past year, continuing a decade-long bull run. In 2004, an acre of Iowa farmland cost $3,250 (in inflation-adjusted dollars) on average. Today, an acre averages $8,716, an increase of 168 percent.

The countryside west of Des Moines, Iowa is beautiful, a landscape of rolling hills and farms. I caught this scene at the end of the day, very contrasty, but the light brought out the shape of the hills and fields. I did add a gradient filter to the sky in Photoshop CS2.

Iowa..... Many trips to Iowa when younger with my Grandparents to visit family.

Tourist attractions you won't find anywhere else in the world.

Rural Iowa. Went for a drive out in Dallas County last night. Photographed some scenes of Iowa's farmland under smokey skies. #iowa #farm #farmlife #rurallife #rural #ruralphotography #landscapes #boringplace #liminalspace #heartland #midwest #nikon #nikoncreators #nikonphotography #lightroom
