(Nov. 8, 2026) — Recently, my wife, our son Raphael and I spent a few days traveling in the state of Kansas.
Some people say there’s “nothing to see” in Kansas. It’s not just Kansas, they say that about all the states in the middle of the country.
But it’s not true. There are interesting things to see in every state, and specifically, in the state of Kansas.
Kansas has a reputation for being flat. Some of it is, but some of it is rolling plain, not really flat.
A lot of travelers just don’t appreciate driving through farmland. They say it’s boring.
Maybe it’s because I’m from a farm. But I enjoy looking at farmland on a trip. I see what crops are grown, what phase the crops are in, what techniques are used, and sometimes I see the actual farm machinery. The homesteads and barns are also interesting.
Farmers feed the world, so people ought to have more appreciation for them, and for the farmland itself.
Here are a few photos of Kansas and its fine farmland, which feeds the world:
Here are some photos of grain elevators. They’re all over Kansas. Grain is brought from the harvest to the grain elevator, built next to a railroad. From the grain elevator it is taken to be distributed to the world. They’re impressive.
