 Due east of Lincoln, in Cass County, lies the village of Murdock. Surrounding Murdock are tens of thousands of acres of corn and soy beans. The beans are used mainly in meal or processed into oil; the corn is used almost exclusively as animal feed. In Eastern Nebraska the growing year has been good and, therefore, there are above average crop totals...and depressed prices per bushel. Here you can see the corn being stored in huge piles next to the grain elevators. That corn eventually will be sold and trucked to other elevators and co-ops. The day I took this photo was sunny and cool. Perfect weather for harvest. Meta data: Canon 6D. Sigma 20-70mm lens. Shot in manual setting: f/11. 1/125. ISO 100. Edited with Lightroom 5.7.
