Have you ever wondered where you can find some of the greatest views on Earth? Farmers and Ranchers have the greatest seats in the house. Did you know that more than 70% of our nation’s wildlife can be found on farm and ranch lands? That’s right, not only do our farmers and ranchers conserve and protect great lands, but they also work to provide shelter for so many wildlife. Have you thanked a farmer or rancher today?

Cora Moore shares the awesome view in the sky left behind an afternoon rain shower.
How can you beat this view over a field of young alfalfa at the foot of the Big Horn Mountains. This was shot the morning after a June snow shower. --Ryan Goodman
Andrea Leinginer from Wyoming shares this awesome view of open rangeland. This is kind of land ranchers work to take care of and preserve on a daily basis.

There are so many more great scenes like these that farmers and ranchers have the opportunity to view every day.

If you have photos of the scenes on your farm or ranch, send them to me today and you may see them in a future post. Email me at agricultureproud@hotmail.com.
