Wheat and Barley Fields in Tennessee Rice Terraces

by Jerry McBride

Soft, overcast light spreads evenly across a patchwork of golden wheat and green barley fields resting on terraced slopes. The crops bend heavily under the force of whipping winds that ripple through the stalks in synchronized waves. Mist rests on the lower valleys between the stepped terraces, obscuring the base of the earthworks while keeping the upper harvest-ready grain sharp and distinct. The soil appears dark and saturated, reflecting the recent monsoon rains that have swollen the paddies below the grain rows. Each terrace edge is defined by a rough line of packed earth, separating the different crop textures in a geometric pattern that follows the natural contour of the land. One stalk of barley stands rigid against the gusts, its head drooping low near the muddy bank.
