These 11 Farms In Illinois Will Bring Out The Country In You

I think of Illinois as made up of two states: Chicagoland and the rest of the state. If you drive just a little outside the suburbs, you can see that Illinois is mostly country–not urban. Here are 11 of my favorite farm shots:

1. This wind farm in Bloomington is breathtaking at sunset

2. Love the juxtaposition of old and new farms in Mendota

3. Garfield Farm (near Geneva) served as a stop for travelers crossing the Illinois prairie in the 1800s

4. This old red barn is in Bureau County is a beauty

5. Soybeans...a common scene in Illinois (Seymour)

6. Farm in fall--near Congerville

7. Sunflower field on a farm in Illinois

8. This road winds up to a farm in Springfield

9. This farmer harvests in Champaign County

10. A storm quickly approaches this farm in McLean County

11. And here's how farming used to be done back in the day
