farm country
Where crops grow
Farm country is rural land dominated by agriculture—fields, pastures, barns, and farmhouses stretching across the landscape.
The term evokes open spaces and small towns where farming shapes the economy and way of life: We drove through miles of farm country on our way to the coast.
Often used nostalgically or politically to represent heartland values.
