wheatfields

Golden agricultural stretches

Wheatfields are expanses of land planted with wheat, the golden grain that dominates temperate agriculture.

The word evokes pastoral imagery—amber waves stretching to the horizon, wind rippling through stalks: Van Gogh painted wheatfields in his final months.
