Illinois Farmland
When people hear we';re from Illinois, they generally presume we're in and around Chicago. Which makes sense, since about 75% of the state's population is... But we're 4+ hour drive from the windy city., in the suburbs of St. Louis, which accounts for 20% of the Illinois population NOT from Chicago (and about 5.5% of the state's total).
Which isn't all that relevant to this photo, which is neither from Chicagoland, nor from St. Louis Metro East.
This is from the 2/3 of Illinois that is NOT Chicago/St. Louis. Specifically, this is from between Metropolis, IL and Vienna, IL. Down in the extreme south of the state, not far from Paducah, KY.
And that's a soybean field.
