November at the overpass north of Litchfield

This completes a year of Litchfield overpass photos.  They demonstrate the cycle of farming in south central Illinois.  They were taken all in the same general direction off of the first overpass north of the Litchfield exit on I-55.  This photo shows that tillage is fairly typically done on half or more of the land in our area in the fall.  You may also be able to see the ditch cleanout work along the dark line in the middle of the picture.  Drainage is much needed to produce our bounteous crops in this area.
