File:Precision Farming in Minnesota - Natural Colour.jpg

Description
English: On September 10, 2009, Landsat scanned this true-colour image of farmland across northwest Minnesota, including a view of Noreen Thomas' organic farm on the banks of the Buffalo River near the middle of the image. From space this farm looks like a patchwork quilt. Fields change hue with the season and with the alternating plots of organic wheat, soybeans, corn, alfalfa, flax, or hay. Lush green fields dominate the image, though some crops have already been harvested leaving squares of tan and brown.
