Description
Newly cut hay dries in the hot daytime sun along Route 65 in the southern San Joaquin Valley in Richgrove, California, USA, North America. In the background, a wind machine stands ready to protect a citrus grove from spring frosts. Vast irrigated farm operations like these dominate the landscape in this soil-rich, but moisture-poor, valley.
