You can’t drive through Texas without seeing at least a few farms along a lonely stretch of highway, because everyone knows farming and agriculture are quintessential elements of Texas life. While cities house much of the population in the Lone Star State, I know most of us wouldn’t turn down a trip to the country to get back in touch with our roots. Here are 12 pictures of farms in Texas that may stir up some old memories for you:
