Rolling fields of corn, soybeans, grasses or wildflowers are classic views of Nebraska. It’s just in our blood – when we see a beautiful field, we stop and stare in adoration. Those fields were how many of our families made (or make) a living, where we grew up playing, where we spent our summers working our first jobs. Whether you still live here or have moved out of Nebraska, these fields will melt your heart.
