Palouse region, Idaho, USA 12 Oct 2023

Farmers represent the determination and a deep-rooted relationship with the land. From dusk to dawn, these cultivators work tirelessly, irrespective of the season, ensuring that produce shelves stay stocked. Throughout the day, they perform multiple tasks like tilling soil, harvesting crops and looking after livestock. The interior northwest"s Palouse region is rich with agriculture, with rolling hills filled with wheat, legumes and canola, seen here today. Old barns with rusty roofs and weathered wood tell tales of harvests and hardships faced by generations of farmers. So, before you eat your next meal, we encourage you to take a moment and think of the workers who produced that food from the land.
