Photographer Cameron Gillie documented the busy day to day life on the Ristad Farm from seeding through to the end of harvest during the 2022 growing season. The Ristad Farm in the Red River Valley in Northwestern Minnesota is just one of the thousands of farms across the Midwest growing wheat, soybeans, and corn. It's from quiet places like Kittson County, and the Ristad Farm, that the global food supply chain begins.Agriculture in the 21st century has kept up with the growth of the world's population through innovation and technology to increase yields. The farming equipment of today has grown much larger and is guided by GPS, but what has stayed the same throughout the history of farming is the hard-working people who gamble with nature every year to grow the world's food. This book gives you a close look at modern farming and introduces you to the dedicated people who are out in those fields working from sunup to sundown.
