Farms of Southern Wisconsin

On our drive home from Prairie du Chien to Mukwonago in the southern part of Wisconsin, I took these following photos of farms. I was also able to capture a couple of shots from a wind turbine farm about a half hour our of Praire du Chien. Farmes and rural landowners have started to benefit from wind power in Wisconsin. Developers typically pay a royalty to landowners of about $2,000 per year per turbine which take up about a half-acre of land. This is great help to farmers who depend on the ups and downs of crops and dairyproducts.
