Loving the country is sort of a part of living in North Dakota since most of the state is rural. It’s full of wide expanses of fields and grasslands with occasional farms dotting the landscape. There are cities and towns as well, but at the heart of it all is the strong agricultural presence. This is something a lot of us North Dakotans are used to, but it never hurts to take the time to appreciate what exists around us and see the beauty we may forget is there. These photographs of 10 charming farms and farmland in the state are perfect examples of such beauty, so read on and enjoy!
